About Mindy Friddle

Mindy Friddle is a native of South Carolina, where her family has lived for more than two centuries. Her grandmothers still live on the same street in Sans Souci, South Carolina. Her people were lintheads who toiled in textile mills and hardy farmers with poems in their hearts -- no landed gentry in sight -- not a one.

She has received a fellowship in fiction from the South Carolina Academy of Authors, and is a two-time winner of the South Carolina Fiction Project and the Piccolo Spoleto Fiction Open. A former newspaper reporter, she holds a B.A. from Furman University, a Master's degree from the University of South Carolina, and an MFA in Creative Writing from Warren Wilson. She attended Bread Loaf, courtesy of a scholarship program through the Emrys Foundation and recently completed a writer's residency at the Ragdale Foundation. An "Army brat" who lived as an adolescent in Europe, Washington, DC and a variety of other places, she graduated from a high school considered by many to be on the "wrong side of the tracks" in South Carolina.

She lives and writes in an historic neighborhood in Greenville, South Carolina. THE GARDEN ANGEL is her first novel.
