Madame Delaflote, Impeccable Spy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780985210458)

She is known as a sweet Southern belle, a woman whose eyelashes are longer than her fingers, her lips as red as a Georgia sunset. Yet, behind the feminine facade of a Scarlett-like ing駭ue lies an absolute and utterly calculating mind - a mind that harbors hints of genius - a genius she uses to write books that will leave you spellbound. A warning! She's dangerous - only six degrees from a life filled with unimaginable adventures - journeys that will plunge her readers into a world of breath-taking intrigue. Put a Walther PPK pistol in her hand and she will kill you. Her German is so precise she'd fool Hitler. Her amorous prowess? If you have a secret, she will discover it - one way or the other. The author was born in north Florida in the little town of Live Oak, where the nearby Suwannee River flows the color of warm caramel, in a three-room, tin-roofed house named "poor." Her Irish mother's and English father's voices can be heard even today as they sweep across the hot tobacco fields of Suwannee County, "Susie, child, you must stop telling all those wild stories." She divides her time between the piney woods of Florida and the lush mountains of North Carolina where she is compelled to write about far away places and people whose hearts require a voice. Her two daughters live their lives hiding from their mother, whose rampant imagination keeps their lives in constant turmoil with stories of apple-rotten characters and plots that cause the devil to smile.
