Trish MacEnulty has written novels, short stories, journalism, children’s play, and memoirs. Like her great grandmother and her protagonist Louisa Delafield, she once even wrote a society column. A former professor of English at Johnson and Wales University in Charlotte, North Carolina, Trish now lives in Tallahassee with her husband, dog, and cat, and teaches for the School of Journalism at Florida A&M University. She currently writes book reviews and features for the Historical Novel Review. Some of her publications appear under the name "Pat MacEnulty." She is the proud mama of a recent law school graduate and criminal justice advocate. When not writing, teaching, reading, or walking her dog, she might be found gathering chanterelle mushrooms, cooking, or going out with her husband to hear her stepson’s jazz and old-time performances.
