Susan Reinhardt has been called “the Southern Belle’s answer to David Sedaris” and “a modern-day, Southern-fried Erma Bombeck or Dave Barry.” She is an award-winning syndicated humor columnist and author of three books --
Not Tonight, Honey: Wait ‘til I’m a Size 6 (2005);
Don’t Sleep With a Bubba Unless Your Eggs are in Wheelchairs (2007); and
Dishing with the Kitchen Virgin (2008).
From her interview with Mary Ward Menke for
January Magazine:
You’ve been compared to Erma Bombeck, Dave Barry and David Sedaris. How does that make you feel?
I like hearing it, but don’t fully believe it. So it hasn’t gone to my head. Everything tends to go to my belly. Everything. I’m a bloater. By the way, I do love all those writers you mentioned, and was so honored to speak at the Erma Bombeck Humor Writers Conference in Dayton in 2006 and meet all of her family. Betsy Bombeck bought two of my books. I was elated.
Has humor always been an important part of your life? Where did your sense of humor come from?
My dad is the funniest man alive and my sister is the funniest woman on the planet. For example, she recently couldn’t get her kids to bathe, so she just put them in the golf cart and ran them through the car 
wash. She also had an e-Bay bidding war to win a possum fur coat. She said it has a tire mark through it, too.
