About the Author
Gayden Metcalfe is a Southern belle with a wicked sense of humor and an unerring eye for the absurdities of life below the Mason-Dixon Line. Born and raised in the heart of Mississippi, she has spent decades observing the rituals, recipes, and relentless politeness that define Southern society. A former journalist and lifelong hostess, Metcalfe draws from her experiences to craft witty guides that blend etiquette with irreverence. Her debut book, Being Dead Is No Excuse: The Official Southern Ladies Guide To Hosting the Perfect Funeral, became a cult favorite for its hilarious take on mourning customs, proving that even in death, Southern style reigns supreme. Metcalfe continues to delight readers with her sharp insights into the traditions that make the South endlessly fascinating.
