She’s been described as Dave Barry with a female point of view. Or the soccer mom equivalent of David Sedaris.

Celia Rivenbark has won a national following with her wickedly hilarious pen and a familiar brand of in-your-face Southern humor. Born in Duplin County, she grew up listening to the jokes and tall tales at the country store, and her humor blends this story-telling tradition with her love of all things pop culture for a unique take on the ever-changing South.

Today, Celia is a New York Times best-selling author and award-winning syndicated columnist. She is also a member of Wrightsville United Methodist Church, and we’re excited to have her join us for A Winter’s Tale.
