Hi, I’m Kathryn M. Hearst, or Kate, and the author of
“Twelve Spirits of Christmas,” Book 2 in the Tessa Lamar Novels, a paranormal
romance series with a Southern twist. Born and raised in the South, my stories
have down-home humor, old-fashioned manners, and families that will make you
cringe.
Here are some things I learned at an early age:
When your grandmother sends you outside to pick
a switch, don’t choose one that’ll break. She’ll be even madder if she has to
go get one herself.
In the summer, keep your flip-flops on until
you reach the wet sand or you’ll burn your feet.
“Fixinta” is a verb warning of intention to take
action, usually involving cooking or opening a can of whoop-*ss. Examples: “I’m
fixinta make supper.” “I’m fixinta send you out for a switch.”
“A month of Sundays” is a really long time.
Just because they come six to a pack, doesn’t
mean you have to drink them all in one go.
A lady should know how to shoot a gun and her
whiskey, but not on Sundays.
When cooking vegetables, one must include a pork
product, salt, pepper, and possibly hot sauce.
The bigger the hair, the bigger the gossip.
When wearing shorts, always check the
temperature of the surface before you sit. Blistering burns on your backside
are a thing.
Driving a lawnmower while drunk is illegal.
Driving a lawnmower to the liquor store is about the same as waving a beer at a
passing police car.
Bonus: “Your mouth’s writing checks your butt ain’t
cashin’,” has nothing to do with banking.
