Ronda Rich Fasten your seatbelts, ladies (and gentlemen!) -- Ronda Rich excels in the kind of storytelling for which Southerners are renowned: funny, lyrical, entertaining, thought-provoking and inspirational. This former NASCAR reporter may not show up in white gloves, but with lipstick and mascara in place, she dispenses wisdom and humor with a flair for the funny side of life. Ronda is the best-selling author of “What Southern Women Know (That Every Woman Should),” a book that is now in its 25th printing, after being bought by a major New York publishing company during a four-day auction. That book launched a new career for the former award-winning sports writer, who has now become a popular Southern sage, giving out musings and observations in her weekly, syndicated newspaper column and speaking nationally as a humorous and inspirational speaker. She is also a commentator on Southern life for Georgia Public Broadcasting. An 11th generation Georgian, descended from the Scotch-Irish who settled into the foothills of the Appalachians, she inherited her family's sole wealth - a talent for storytelling. While you get a taste of this in her best-selling books and weekly syndicated column, her stories come to life vibrantly in front of an audience, holding folks spellbound as she weaves tales of life in general, and Southern life in particular In 2002, HarperCollins released a memoir of her years in NASCAR racing as a journalist and publicist. “My Life In The Pits” became a favorite among readers and critics including renowned broadcaster Paul Harvey who called it a “great read” and the New York Times who called it “one of the greatest sports books ever written.” "Ronda's NASCAR stories are awesome!" said one client. "Even if you don't know anything about the sport - and I didn't - you find yourself absolutely wrapped up in stories that are fun, moving and very powerful." Continuing her successful streak as a writer of Southern stories, her most recent books, “What Southern Women Know About Flirting” and “The Town That Came A-Courtin’,” Ronda’s critically-acclaimed first novel, were both released by Penguin-Putnam on the same day. This marks the first time in publishing history that a publishing company has released two books on the same day by an author. She has appeared on dozens of television shows including The View, The Other Half, Best Damn Sports Show, CNN and appeared in many magazines including Cosmopolitan, Redbook and Woman’s Own.
