Deborah Sharp was a reporter for USA Today for nearly two decades. Given all the stories she wrote about killer sharks, rampaging alligators, and human evil-doers, it's a wonder she leaves her house.
She traded the sad stories of the news business for her funny ''Mace Bauer Mystery'' series, set in a sweet-tea-and-barbecue slice of her native Florida. The series debuted with ''Mama Does Time'' (Midnight Ink, 2008). Mama's out of the slammer and into the saddle in ''Mama Rides Shotgun''(July 2009.) In 2010's ''Mama Gets Hitched,'' Mama ties the sacred knot of matrimony . . . for the fifth time.
Deborah's Florida mysteries are funny, with a soft Southern edge: Think Carl Hiaasen on estrogen.
She lives in Fort Lauderdale with her husband of 20 years, television reporter Kerry Sanders. No kids. No pets. They had goldfish once. Turned out badly.
Her short fiction and essays have appeared nationally,and her humorous commentaries have run on NPR. She's been on the Today Show -- twice -- chatting with Al Roker and Natalie Morales about her wacky Mama character, and the transition from journalism to fiction-writing.
