About Me
Born and bred in Arkansas, Melissa McKenzie Francis is a small town southern girl with big city dreams. (Okay, she dreams of big city shoes, but there’s nowhere to wear them ’round these parts. Plus she really is a barefoot girl at heart.) The University of Arkansas at Little Rock allowed her to graduate with an English degree, but many of her friends wonder how when she uses words like y’all, dunno, gonna, and fixin’ to. Her favorite phrase is “Woo Pig Sooie!” and she will be glad to explain what that means over a (preferably dark) beer. For seven years, she lived just two miles away from William Faulkner’s home in Oxford, MS. When the pressure to live up to his reputation grew too great, she moved back home to Arkansas where others totally understand her. She recently sold her first novel to HarperCollins. Bite Me! is scheduled to hit the shelves January 2009 and she totally expects everyone who has met her or has read this blog to buy at least two copies.
Chicken monkey shoes?
Yes.
