Book Jacket Copy: “Heathen Slut”

“Welcome to my country, heathen slut.”

Casey Quinlan has spent her life breaking barriers – she takes after her dad, a US Navy fighter pilot who was among the first to break the sound barrier.

She spent grade school as the perennial “new kid” as her family moved from coast to coast following the fleet.

That experience came in handy when she was part of the first wave of women broadcasting engineers hired by US networks to prevent being sued by the gender police.

Getting arrested in passport control in Riyadh as she arrived to cover the Gulf War in 1991 gave her the title for her memoirs – the book you hold in your hands, “Welcome to My Country, Heathen Slut,” is the hilarious story of how she won over classmates, nuns, co-workers, rioters, and even the Saudi national police.

Beating the odds when facing armed dudes, nuns armed with rulers, cranky old-skool TV guys, and even breast cancer, Casey’s story of life on the front lines of change and gender politics will make you laugh, make you think, and make you glad you bought this book!
