Hi! I'm the author of CRAZY IN ALABAMA and a new novel, ONE
MISSISSIPPI, coming in July 2006. Here's my bio:    Mark
Childress was born in 1957 in Monroeville, Alabama and grew up in Ohio,
Indiana, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama. After graduation from the
University of Alabama in 1978, Childress was a reporter for The
Birmingham News, Features Editor of Southern Living magazine, and
Regional Editor of The Atlanta Journal and Constitution.


Childress is the author of five novels: "A World Made of Fire" (Knopf,
1984), "V For Victor" (Knopf, 1988) "Tender" (Harmony, 1990), "Crazy in
Alabama" (Putnam, 1993), and "Gone for Good," published in June 1998 by
Alfred A. Knopf. His articles and reviews have appeared in The New York
Times, Los Angeles Times, The Times of London, San Francisco Chronicle,
Saturday Review, Chicago Tribune, Philadelphia Inquirer, Travel and
Leisure, and other national and international publications.


Tender, a Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club selection, was named
to several Ten Best of 1990 lists, and appeared on many national
bestseller lists. Crazy in Alabama, a featured selection of the
Literary Guild, has been published in the U.S., Great Britain, Germany,
Spain, Italy, France, Russia, Holland, Denmark, and Poland, and
appeared on many bestseller lists and Ten Best of 1993 lists. Crazy was
named The (London) Spectator's "Book of the Year" for 1993 and a New
York Times "Notable Book of the Year," and was on the Der Spiegel
bestseller list in Germany for 10 months.

Childress has
received the Thomas Wolfe Award, the University of Alabama's
Distinguished Alumni Award, and the Alabama Library Association's
Writer of the Year.

He has also written three picture books
for children, "Joshua and Bigtooth," in 1992, "Joshua and the Big Bad
Blue Crabs," 1996 (both from Little, Brown), and "Henry Bobbity Is
Missing And It Is All Billy Bobbity's Fault," (Crane Hill Publishers,
1996).

He wrote the screenplay of the Columbia Pictures film
"Crazy in Alabama," directed by Antonio Banderas, and starring Melanie
Griffith, an official selection of the Venice and San Sebastian film
festivals in 1999.

Childress is now working on "First
Brother," a screenplay for Columbia Pictures, and has just finished ONE
MISSISSIPPI, which will be published in July 2006 by Little, Brown. He
lives all over the place, currently in New York City.
