Scott Wilbanks is an American expat living in New Zealand with his “frustratingly perfect husband.” A former national title holder in the sport of gymnastics whose left arm is an inch shorter than his right—the result of a career-ending accident — Scott ditched the corporate world to “see where this writing will take me.” The Lemoncholy Life of Annie Aster is his debut novel.
