About this title

About the Author:

Mary T. Wagner's award-winning essays have been described in terms ranging from "barbed wire prose" and "the Midwest's answer to Carrie Bradshaw" to "bedtime tales for grownups." An experienced journalist and criminal prosecutor living in Wisconsin, Wagner draws on her experiences as a newspaper reporter, soccer and tennis mom, truckstop waitress, radio talk show host, judicial clerk, office temp, and cocktail waitress to craft compelling stories of ordinary moments viewed with extraordinary insight. She harbors the fond hope that someday she'll win the lottery and afford to become a "snowbird," trading brutal Midwestern winters for a seasonal warm spot on the beach in Georgia, a large container of sunblock, and a frozen strawberry margarita.
