Judy Hogan is a post-menopausal zest woman who has lived eight decades. She is aging slowly and trying to keep up with her writing, publishing, teaching, and farming. Fortunately, she has lots of helpers these days. She still makes fig and pear preserves, sometimes Muscatine grape jelly, spaghetti sauce, minestrone, vichyssoise, and lots of lemon balm and peppermint tea. She loves her white rock hens, who are fed organically, and some folks think they give the best eggs in Chatham County. She understands that, because of climate change and difficult political events in her state and at the national level, that life will become more and more difficult for all of us, but she still hopes to live to a hundred and do some good along the way. Farm Fresh and Fatal: The Seventh Penny Weaver Mystery came out first in 2013 from Mainly Murder Press. This is now a reprint under my own imprint, Hoganvillaea Books. Many folks enjoyed it in 2013. I myself sold bread, vegetables, and fruit at the Pittsboro Farmers Market in 2008-9. This was helpful to me as a farmer, but I did learn again that there is politics in everything. I hope you enjoy it. See less
