Born and bred in Arkansas, Melissa
Francis is a small town southern girl with big city dreams.
(Okay, she dreams of big city shoes, but there's nowhere to
wear them 'round these parts. Plus she really is a barefoot
girl at heart.) The University of Arkansas at Little Rock allowed
her to graduate with an English degree, but many of her friends
wonder how when she uses words like y'all, dunno, gonna, and
fixin' to. Her favorite phrase is "Woo Pig Sooie!"
and she'll be glad to explain what that means over a (preferably
dark) beer. Unless you're underage, then she'll explain over
a nice cup of peppermint tea. She can be found online at http://melissafrancis.blogspot.com.
Her debut novel titled Bite Me!
is scheduled to hit the shelves Fall 2009 and she totally expects
everyone who has met her, talked to her, emailed her, or uttered
her name to buy at least two copies.
