Fannie lives in California, but comes home to visit family and friends in Alabama from time to time. She is not only a great professional, but also one of the most wonderful people we’ve ever known. You can’t be around her for very long without cracking a smile. She simply loves to make people feel good and to laugh. She is a wonderful storyteller, and weaves memories of growing up in the south in her characters and her books. We are proud to be able to offer her works.
