Synopsis

You ll want to read Fast! since this book is hard to put down: part observation, part collaboration, part inspiration. Ipock spins hilarious and interesting tales like a party girl working the room. Her quirky, zany upbeat stories reflect those things all Southern girls hold dear: good breeding, good friends, good food, and good gossip! Subjects include forgotten luggage that necessitate emergency shopping, sushi as the nouveau Southern picnic food, a test for the FROU I.Q. (Females Rule Our Universe) and redecorating the manly man s (Oscar the Grouch s) den.

About this title

About the Author

Ann Ipock is an award-winning Southern humorist and speaker, who s found writing to be her safest career to date. After catching the mayor s mustache in her dental hygiene polisher, she joined a writer s group, began acting in community theatre and changed her hair color at least three times. She now lives in Wilmington, NC with her loving, loyal, and confused husband, Russell. They have two daughters and two granddaughters. Life is Short, I Wish I Was Taller follows Life is Short, So Read This Fast! and Life is Short, But It s Wide and completes the Life is Short trilogy. Ann currently writes for Georgetown Times, SC s oldest newspaper, Sasee and Columbia County Magazine. She has taught at the SC Writer s Workshop in Myrtle Beach, the Foothills Writers Guild Conference at Anderson University, and was selected as a judge for Catfish Stew anthology. Ann s hobbies include gardening, cooking, dining out, walking, dancing, painting, decorating, traveling, acting and shoe-shopping. These mostly keep her A.D.D. from flaring up. Her favorite role to date is Truvy Jones of Steel Magnolias. Among her favorite childhood memories are her fourth grade school talent show, pantomiming Alley Oop and promptly losing; entering a science project in ninth grade on crystallization and promptly winning a blue ribbon; [with apologies to, Jim, the class genius she beat, who stood there crying]; and riding in the Christmas parade float, sponsoring The Bootery her family s shoe store: complete with big hair, long formal gown, matching dyed peau de soie heels and white elbow-length gloves. Long live the beauty-queen wave!
