Edna Mae Thornberry, Herself: (Before and After)

Carl Hiaasen, move over, Edna Mae Thornberry is here! Florida is the breeding ground for authors to bring forth their zany ideas and unforgetable characters. Dave Barry, of Miami Herald fame, is a zany himself as he has pointed out in his award-winning columns. Carl Haaisen has given us an ex-governor with "an appetite for roadkill". Now we have Edna Mae Thornberry, Herself, the founder of The Church of the Not Quite Altogether, the keeper of family secrets (we only marry kin 'cuz we don't trust strangers") and whose favorite delicacy is Possum on a stick! Joyce Liberty is a free-lance writer who was also an educator, a nurse and a radio personality as well as a member of American Mensa. Ltd. She lives in Largo, Florida, with her husband. Bob, and her mini-Schnauzers, Spike and Dolly.
