Murder Makes Waves (21 page)

A
NNE
G
EORGE
was the Agatha Award-winning author of eight Southern Sisters mysteries:
Murder on a Girls’ Night Out, Murder on a Bad Hair Day, Murder Runs in the Family, Murder Makes Waves, Murder Gets a Life, Murder Shoots the Bull, Murder Carries a Torch
, and her final book,
Murder Boogies With Elvis
. Her popular and hilariously funny novels reflected much of her own experiences. Like Patricia Anne, Anne George was a happily married former schoolteacher living in Birmingham, Alabama, and she grew up with a delightful cutup cousin who provided plenty of inspiration for the outrageous Mary Alice. A former Alabama State Poet, cofounder of Druid Press, and a regular contributor to literary and poetry publications, Ms. George was also the author of a literary novel,
This one and Magic Life
, which
Publishers Weekly
described as “silky and lyrical.” She had been nominated for several awards, including the Pulitzer for a book of verse entitled
Some of It Is True
. Anne George passed away in March 2001.
