was the Agatha Award-winning author of eight Southern Sisters mysteries. Her popular and hilariously funny novels reflected much of her own experiences. Like Patricia Anne, Anne George was a happily married former schoolteacher living outside of Birmingham, Alabama, and she grew up with a cutup cousin who provided plenty of inspiration for the outrageous Mary Alice. A former Alabama State Poet, cofounder of Druid Press, and a regular contributor to literary and poetry publications, Ms. George was also the author of a literary novel,
This One and Magic Life
. She was nominated for several awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for a book of verse entitled
Some of It Is True
. Anne George passed away in early 2001.

“Consistently well-crafted, funny, moving entertainments…[The] books in the Southern Sisters series have always been like dessert to me. I look forward to them, even while I’m reading other things. And when I get there, they’re even better than I imagined they would be. MURDER BOOGIES WITH ELVIS is no exception…Patricia Anne and Mary Alice get the job done and have a lot of fun along the way.”

New Orleans Times-Picayune

“It’s always a pleasure to keep company with Mouse and Sister…George’s sunny Southern sisters are like comfort food, as good as grits and almost better than biscuits.”

Virginian Pilot and Ledger-Star

“A clever plot and an entertaining cast of eccentric characters…Another excursion with the Southern Sisters, two siblings so different it’s remarkable that they were both fished out of the same gene pool.”

Washington Times

“The Southern Sisters are again a winning combo for readers who like their mysteries light on gore and heavy on grins.”

Orlando Sentinel

“Truly delightful, laugh-out-loud fun!…I wish Partricia Anne and Mary Alice were my sisters. I’d love to hang out with them.”
