A Renaissance woman, the author is passionate about many things. Her prizewinning roses and camellias delight the many visitors to her home, “The Snuggery.” She began reading her “Brown Dog Tales,” the basis for this book, at the Sunday Salons in the French Quarter of New Orleans, and several were featured in the Faulkner Society Double Dealer. She is the older sister of Jill Conner Browne, author of the bestselling Sweet Potato Queen series. Raised in Jackson, Mississippi, she now lives in New Orleans, Louisiana, with her brown dog.
