You Don’t Sweat Much for a Fat Girl is the 6th hilarious collection of funny stuff from the woman USA Today calls “Dave Barry with a female point of view”. Celia’s take on humor is the result of growing up in rural Eastern North Carolina listening to, and absorbing, stories, jokes and tall tales at the country store. Her humor blends this country tradition with her love of all things pop culture for a unique take on the ever-changing South.

A newspaper reporter since age 18, Celia started writing a weekly humor column for the New York Times Regional Newspaper Group in 1993. The column, “From the Belle Tower” is currently syndicated by McClatchey-Tribune News Services and appears in newspapers across the country.

If you cannot make the event, you can reserve a personalized copy of any of Ms. Rivenbark's books by contacting Fiction Addiction in advance at 864-675-0540 or at info@fiction-addiction.com.
