What’s New

By Leslie Anne Tarabella / November 7, 2024 /

Hulk Hogan caused quite a stir when he came to the Fairhope Piggly Wiggly today.  That’s such a funny sentence, I think I’ll just let it hang there.  And tomorrow? (Thursday Nov. 7th) I’ll be at The Pig. Hulk Hogan is a hard act to follow, but I’ll be with lots of others at the…

Let me hug your neck!

By Leslie Anne Tarabella / October 16, 2024 /

It’s been a whole week since the release of my new book, We Don’t Push in Fairhope, and I want to thank each one of you who was able to attend the launch party. What a fun night! My grandmother would say, “Come here and let me hug your neck!” If the long signing line…

Just over 100 people showed up for my launch party for my new book, We Don’t Push in Fairhope. What a incredible feeling to be so loved by those who love their hometown. – Hey, that’s kind of what my book is about!  People kept coming in the back door as I was speaking and…

Revisiting the Ebenezer

By Leslie Anne Tarabella / October 6, 2024 /

With a terrible mess from Hurricane Helene in FL, GA, SC and NC, and the entire world seeming to spin out of control, I’ve been thinking about a previous newspaper column I wrote and thought it may be a good idea to revisit my backyard Ebenezer. Here’s an updated version.  There’s a pile of rocks…

The tale of the stolen wallet

By Leslie Anne Tarabella / September 3, 2024 /

My newsletter subscribers got an early hint of this story last week when I mentioned Bob’s wallet getting stolen in Rome. Here’s the full story. It’s fun to be a subscriber—just enter your email on the sidebar! Bob and I have been trying to take a big trip every few years because this is our…

Pre-order excitement!

By Leslie Anne Tarabella / August 30, 2024 /

Well, isn’t this just a hoot-and-a-half?  You write a book, then you have to switch hats and market the thing. Who knew?  And on top of writing and marketing, I also recorded the audio version of We Don’t Push in Fairhope.  I don’t know why, but it was exhausting!  Recording the audio version of We…

Snake in the Pool and Newhart

By Leslie Anne Tarabella / August 26, 2024 /

The weirdest part of my summer (so far) wasn’t when I used my kitchen tongs to fling a snake out of my swimming pool, but it was when I somehow predicted the entire scene the day before.  Paddling in the cool pool on a nuclear-hot South Alabama evening, I told my husband I wanted to…
