Abigail Austin
Abigail is a Kennebec Journal staff writer covering crime and courts. She has a BFA from the University of Maine Farmington and has worked in journalism for five years, meeting the community first as the Connections editor at the Sun Journal. She writes because she's curious and wants to tell the stories of central Mainers. It was this same curiosity that stirred Abby and her husband to sell everything in a yard sale and hit the American back roads as full-time RVers where she met locals who gave her recipes for fire water and fudge along with tips to avoid bear and cockroaches. Now parked in Hartford on a little ranch, Abby spends her spare time in the saddle and and on the trails with her dog.
