About the Author

Rhett DeVane is a true Southerner, born and raised in the muggy, bug-infested forests of the Florida panhandle. For the past thirty-plus years, Rhett has made her home in Tallahassee, located in Florida's Big Bend area, where she splits her workdays between her two professions: dental hygienist and novelist. Rhett is the author of five published mainstream humorous fiction novels set in her hometown of Chattahoochee, a place with "two stop-lights and a mental institution on the main drag": The Madhatter's Guide to Chocolate, Up the Devil's Belly, Mama's Comfort Food, Cathead Crazy, and Suicide Supper Club. She is the coauthor of two novels: Evenings on Dark Island with Larry Rock and Accidental Ambition with Robert W. McKnight. In addition, Rhett has released two books in a series of middle grade fiction, Elsbeth and Sim and Dig Within. Suicide Supper Club won first place in 2014 for fiction from the Florida Authors and Publishers Association. She'd wear the medal every day if it wasn't so heavy and perhaps a bit braggity. Plus finding earrings to match, there's that. Rhett writes to stay balanced and reasonably happy. The way this world is today, it's a must. "Humor lifts me. As long as I am on this side of the dirt, I will find a way to laugh, and to share that with as many people as possible."
