The author of Secrets of the Zona Rosa: How Writing (and Sisterhood) Change Women's Lives, its prequel, The Woman Who Spilled Words All Over Herself: Writing and Living The Zona Rosa Way, she is the founder and leader of Zona Rosa®, a series of writing and living workshops in Savannah, Atlanta, and cities throughout the country, as well as in Europe, as profiled in People and Southern Living magazines.But first and foremost, she is the award-winning author of six other books of poetry and prose. Her revolutionary memoir, Fatal Flowers: On Sin, Sex and Suicide in the Deep South, won the 1999 Palimpsest Prize for a most-requested out-of-print book. Along with her second memoir, Sleeping with Soldiers, it was a forerunner of the current memoir trend.

Her features and reviews have appeared in Self, Harper's Bazaar, Mademoiselle, New York Woman, Mother Jones, Travel & Leisure, The New York Times Book Review and many other publications - as someone once wittily introduced her, "She's the only writer I know who's been published in both Mademoiselle and Mother Jones!"
