Louise Shaffer proves that a writer doesn't have to
be born and raised in the South to write about the
South.
Born
in New Haven, Connecticut, Shaffer attended the Yale School of Drama. As
an actress she appeared on and off Broadway, in such shows as, "First
One Asleep Whistle", "The Women", "We Have Always Lived In A Castle",
"The Butter and Egg Man", and "Bat Masterson's Last Regular Job". In 1983
she won an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of
Rae Woodard. In the late 1980's Shaffer won a Writer's Guild Award for
Best Script also for her work on "Ryan's Hope".
In the mid-1990's Louise
Shaffer became a published author, releasing two murder mysteries. In
2003 Shaffer released her first literary novel, the critically acclaimed The Three Miss Margarets from Random House Publishing. Shaffer's
second novel, The Ladies of Garrison Gardens was released
in May 2005.
