Laurie Perry is the author of "Drunk, Divorced & Covered In Cat Hair" -- the irreverent first-person narrative of a contemporary, displaced Southern woman facing life after her husband leaves her to "get his creativity back."
She is best known for her online diary, CrazyAuntPurl.com. It's a peek into the daily life of a woman who is trying to figure it all out, whatever "it" may be, with a fine assortment of wines, cats and post-divorce home improvement projects.
Her website has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, MSN.com, and has been nominated for a 2007 Webby Award. Perry has also been spotlighted in ForeWord Magazines ForePlay column, and Vogues "Knit 1" magazine.
Perry was born in Texas and has lived in the bayous of Louisiana, the backwoods of Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee. She now lives and writes in Los Angeles.
Her book is available in stores nationwide on October 11."
