A columnist for the "Philadelphia Daily News," Nancy French blends her hilarious fish-out-of-water tale with humorous observations about the South's obsession with everything from church attendance to the blue-state notion that red staters think as slowly as they speak.
Nancy French grew up in Paris, Tennessee - home of the World's Biggest Fish Fry - but has since lived in Center City Philadelphia and the Gramercy area of Manhattan.
She began her writing career as a Philadelphia City Paper columnist tackling many subjects with a light, humorous touch; her articles have appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer, The New York Sun, Newsmax, the Philadelphia Daily News, and National Review Online. An alumna of David Lipscomb University and New York University, Nancy now has moved back south, but this time to Columbia, Tennessee - the Mule Capital of the World - where she lives with her husband, writing collaborator, and co-conspirator David French, and their three children.
She is the author of the new book "Home and Away: A Story of Family in a Time of War" and "Red State of Mind: How a Catfish Queen Reject Became a Liberty Belle." Recently, she collaborated with Bristol Palin on her new memoir, "Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far."
Nancy is the editor of SixSeeds.tv, a pop culture-focused magazine for parents, as well as a columnist and speaker. Follow her on her website www.NancyFrench.com, on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/NancyAndersonFrench and on Twitter at http://twitter.com/NancyAFrench.
