Margo Orlando Littell is the author of the novels The Distance from Four Points and Each Vagabond by Name, both published by the University of New Orleans Press. Each Vagabond by Name won the University of New Orleans Publishing Lab Prize and an IPPY Awards Gold Medal for Mid-Atlantic Fiction and was named one of fifteen great Appalachian novels by Bustle. That story, about a band of itinerant thieves who wreak havoc on a small Pennsylvania town, was based on actual events that occurred when traveling thieves appeared in the area in the early 2000s.
