Robert James Waller - The Bridges of Madison County
Offender: Before entering a career as a writer based on the success of Bridges, Robert James Waller was a professor of management at the University of Northern Iowa.
She was half right: Waller didn't make up the story, he just changed the details in a story old as time (how old is time, anyway?), like changing the colors in a paint by number.

 Alan Cogan Reviews - Puerto Vallarta Squeeze. By Robert James Waller
I've always thought of Waller as a writer of romances, going only by the titles of his books, never having read any of them.
This one, however, is a quite suspenseful "chase" story - complete with a rather bloody ending - as well as being a travelogue of at least one area of Mexico.
Waller is quite an elegant writer, even for a story such as this.
