From pickling contests, disrupted political events, stump preaching and future archeological mistakes, these tales offer a good dose of Southern humor and a bit of sadness too."Growing up in the rural South was an irreplaceable gift to me," says Alice Twiggs Vantrease. "It allowed me the luxury of exercising my imagination and to wonder 'what if' when I observed the people and situations around me. While most of my stories are fiction, there is always a dollop or two of truth hidden within each one. It's up to the reader to discern which is which. Now that I am older, I wish I'd spent more time listening to the stories of my elders as they entertained each other in the evening. They are gone now, and the storytelling on the porch doesn't often happen anymore. This is my attempt to continue the storytelling tradition. I hope each reader will sit out on a porch on a cool evening and enjoy them."

Alice Twiggs Vantrease grew up in South Carolina and spent her summers with her Grandmother Wright in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Following a normal liberal arts education, she received a degree in Confusion from the Institute of Marriage where major areas of interest were concentrated in diaper changing and cheese grits. She received a master's degree in the School of Media Obfuscation where her thesis "The Importance of Truth in Media" was solidly rejected. Final thesis topic was "Rejection: Why Salespeople Love Sales." She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in the School of Dirty Knees where her thesis "Advice to a New Gardener from a Used One" is under current review. Alice claims to be a truly liberated woman: Her children are grown and the dog is finally housebroken. Now taking a sabbatical from the media and marketing rat race, she is pursuing her interest in writing and needlework. In addition to The Rabbit in the Moon, she is the author of Charlie's Secret, a novel set in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. The Hootchie Coochie Pickler and Other Southern Tales is her first collection of short stories.
