Cathy Pickens has been, under different names, a lawyer, a business professor, an university provost, a clog-dancing coach, a church organist/choir director, typist and successful mystery writer.
The most profound influences on her life have been her family, her faith, Nancy Drew, and Perry Mason. She grew up in a small town and was forced to move to big cities to support herself first as an attorney and then as a professor. Cathy found the only way to get out of the cities comfortably was by moving "Avery Andrews" back home and chronicling her exploits. Her novels include Southern Fried, Done Gone Wrong, Hog Wild, Hush My Mouth and Can't Never Tell.
