You name it and multi-talented, award-winning, best-selling novelist Peggy Webb has written it – magazine humor columns, romance, quasi-literary women’s fiction and now comedy/mysteries. The first book of her new Callie Valentine & Elvis mystery series will be published in the summer of 2008 in hardcover from Kensington.

She likes to describe herself as “Southern to the bone and a pillar of the church and community,” but her friends say she is as down-to-earth and zany as the characters in her books. She readily admits to being part Callie in Elvis and the Dearly Departed (2008) and part Maggie in her Pulitzer nominated novel Driving Me Crazy (2006), which also features the delicious Rainman. But she denies being the model for characters in Flying Lessons (2006), Late Bloomers (2007) and particularly Confessions of a Not-So-Dead Libido.
