I am an author. My debut novel, If Truth Be Told, was released by Five Star/Thompson-Gale in June 2007. It must have been okay, because the first printing sold out in 4 weeks. I don't have THAT much family! My second novel will be released in March 2009, Of Words & Music, and the first in a mystery series, LIVE Ringer, is due out January 2010. Yes, it's been a busy few years. Details and lots more are available on my website at www.fitzgeraldwrites.com.

I love Georgia (seasons and the mountains), Florida (particularly the few remaining deserted beaches), dogs (owner of 2 Cairn Terriers, my 2 latest rescue dogs), gardening, good food and people. I have a real thing for Mei Lan, the panda cub at the Atlanta Zoo, and her new as-yet-unnamed brother.

My latest excitement is that I'm a judge in the Mystery Writers of America/St. Martins Minatour first crime novel competition. That's allowed me to get to preview lots of truly spectacular novels.

Who knows what's coming next? Whatever it is, it will be wonderful! « less
