Simply Southern Ease Altogether Funny When the author sent me a copy of this, her latest, I was looking forward to reading it. The reason was that I had read and accepted a short story she had sent previously and knew she had skill as a writer of humor. She did not disappoint with Simply Southern Ease, the latest of her releases of these vignettes of what she presents as slices of her life. Whether she is discussing Babe, her husband, her friends, pets or complete strangers, Cappy Hall Rearick is all together funny, interesting and perverse with her sense of banter, wit and playfulness. --- R.L. Hall, SouthLit.com |

Take it Easy with Simply Southern Ease "I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Simply Southern Ease." It was a delight and gave me a healthy share of chuckles. --- Margie Dorsey, St. Simons Island, GA |

Such tongue in cheek, such wit! Someone in the writing group I moderate passed a link through the site to your interview with Tim Bete on the humor writer's site. I followed a link to your website, as I am a humorist, too, and came to a column you wrote entitled, Fortune Cookie Forecast. Well, let me tell you, I laughed all the way through it. I surf now and then when I need a break but I don't remember the last time I had to stop to email the person in charge of writing a piece. I laughed my ass off, if you will excuse the expression. Such tongue in cheek, such wit -- it was very, very good. Well, it is back to work for me, but I just had to stop and say good luck with your book. It is a winner if your columns are any indication. --- Author Dorothy Thompson |

First Hand Humor As any writer or performer will tell you, comedy is the most difficult of arts and skills. Cappy Hall Rearick's first hand knowledge of Southerners makes her stories ring with authentic humor and her obvious love of the characters she creates fills those stories with lots of fun and a subtle compassion. --- Mary Stripling, Atlanta, Georgia |

I loved reading Simply Southern What a wonderful writer this lady is! Immerse yourself in glorious mini-tales such as Gloryjean the Butterbean Queen and By Virtue of a Vidalia. You can see, hear and nearly touch the characters she brings to life so beautifully. In our hectic world, Simply Southern is an oasis of pure pleasure. --- Author Toni Turner, Orange County, California |

Flavor of the South When Cappy Hall Rearick writes, she lays the flavor of the South down on paper with witty realism. She offers a great insight into the mind of a Southern female with honesty and laughs to spare. Her column has become one of the most popular pieces in the Senior Sun newspaper. --- Torrey Monroe, Publisher and Editor, Senior Sun |

Not Simple at all! There is nothing simple or even Southern about Cappy Rearick's insightful prose. Hers is a language that transcends geographic boundaries and literary genres. Rearick is a writer for those who seek a glimpse into the core of human emotion, be they Bostonian, Atlantan or those who live somewhere between. --- Anna Levitan, Editor Boston Common Magazine |

An adoring Fan I just read "Leave a Message" by Cappy in the February issue of Southlit Magazine and I have one thing to say to her: I think I love you! I am a Tennessee humor writer and my stuff is either very funny or very sad. But her story made me laugh out loud. I adored it. I'll be watching for more of her. --- Marla H. Thurman, Chattanooga, Tennessee |

Funny Writer I have read Cappy Hall Rearick's writing in newspaper columns for years. I was happy to see that she has put some of the funniest ones in a collection. She is a worthy successor to Erma Bombeck and Paula Wall as a writer of American humor.
--- Author Harry Rubin, Hinesville, Georgia |

A terrific book Cappy Hall Rearick's writing style is reminiscent of Erma Bombeck's, yet unique to the South and its colorful characters. No subject is taboo, including The Grandchildren from Hell and husband Babe. When you finish reading this book, you will feel like you have had a long visit with an old friend.

A Simply Southern State of Mind It's a State of Mind. As a Northerner new to the South, I discovered that Southerners and Northerners have more to distinguish them than their accents. Cappy Rearick's take on life is hilarious. It wouldn't surprise me if the nickname Cappy came from the word Madcap. --- Constance Daley, Teacher of Creative Writing |
