Patricia Sprinkle
Patricia Sprinkle describes herself as "basically a Southern writer of mysteries and inspirational works." Her Thoroughly Southern mystery series features MacLaren Yarbrough, a spunky, 60-something amateur sleuth and town magistrate living in the fictional town of Hopemore, GA. Sprinkle, who lives in Smyrna, Ga., is a past president of Sisters-in-Crime, a worldwide organization founded to combat discrimination against women in the mystery field.
