Reader Reactions and Reviews

 

"Leslie Anne's stories delight readers with a unique spin on a modern Southern life while holding to a hint of old fashioned values."
-Alabama Media Group

"There's a bit of eccentricity and craziness . . .The Exploding Hushpuppy collection is an astutely judged blend of comedy, reminiscence, and insight. And yes, it is rather calming, the kind of calm that goes with fasting from social media, sitting on the couch and listening to Debussy - or Dolly Parton.
-Bruce Collier, editor DeFuniak Herald

"'Bout to be laughing out loud to Leslie Anne Tarabella's Exploding Hushpuppies, 'cause there's nobody funnier than a Southern girl! - I chuckled so hard at your ice maker story!"
-3 friends and a fork blog

"This is a perfect time for Leslie Anne's second book debut - a collection of her trademark humorous stories to take our minds off coronavirus. Touching and funny. A must-read for those folks moving to the South, bless their hearts! Show them some hospitality and tuck a copy in a gift bag with a jar of homemade jam or a bag of boiled peanuts."
-Rachel W.

"Laughed and cried at the same time. Leslie Anne is a wonderful writer and a superb teller of Southern Tales showing her subjects with great empathy and humor. You will love her stories!"
-Chris D.
