| Sharp: Training her lens on a disappearing Florida |
Mystery writer Deborah Sharp is a former reporter for USA Today. She traded
the sad stories of the news business for writing mysteries, set in a little-known rodeo-and-ranches slice of her native Florida.
Her books are funny, with a Southern-fried edge: Think Stephanie Plum
with a plate of BBQ and a couple of cousins named Bubba.
Deborah's “Mace Bauer Mysteries'’ debuted with Mama Does Time (Midnight Ink, 2008). To research her second, Mama Rides Shotgun (2009), she saddled up for a cross-Florida, six-day trail
ride. Dressing up as a tacky bride was almost as grueling for
2010's Mama Gets Hitched. For her fourth book, Mama Sees Stars, Deborah plans several red-carpet soirees in honor of her title
character's grab at Hollywood stardom. Trouble is, Mama's big closeup
might just end in murder.
Deborah’s short fiction and essays have appeared nationally,
and she's been interviewed on the "Today" show. She lives in Ft.
Lauderdale with husband Kerry Sanders, a TV reporter. No kids. No pets. They
had goldfish once. Turned out badly.
