Summary: Deborah Sharp is a former USA Today reporter who quit the news biz to write mysteries. Mama Does Time is the first book in her funny, Florida-set series. The second, Mama Rides Shotgun, is out in 2009. They're traditional mysteries with a comic edge: Think Agatha Christie meets "My Name is Earl." Incidentally, she met TV reporter Kerry Sanders in Immokalee, both of them shivering at dawn to see whether a winter freeze would ruin the green pepper crop. They’ve been married since 1989. No kids; no pets, but had goldfish once. Turned out badly—not a good omen for higher life forms. When they moved back to Deborah’s hometown in 1991, the occasional stories she’d been writing for USA Today became a flood. Miami’s loony nature gives it a lock on headlines. And then, 9/11, and everything changed. Call in and talk to Deborah LIVE @ 1-646-595-3135
