  <about><![CDATA[Virginia Smith left her twenty-year career as a corporate director in the summer of 2005 to launch her career as a writer. Since that time she has received contracts for ten novels. She writes books about women with a little bit of sass and a whole lot of heart. Her books are aimed primarily at Christian readers, and she writes in two genres: contemporary humorous fiction, such as STUCK IN THE MIDDLE, and mysteries, such as her recent A TASTE OF MURDER. AGE BEFORE BEAUTY, book two in her Sister-to-Sister Series, will hit bookstores in February 2009. For a chance to win a preview copy, see the GoodReads Give Aways page, or for an even greater chance, check out her website at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.virginiasmith.org&quot;&gt;www.virginiasmith.org&lt;/a&gt;]]></about>
