This woman is a delightful exception - refreshing person to hear, as well as to read. I enjoy her engaging personality and humor as much in viewing her and listening, as much as reading her outstanding offerings.

I first met Mary 10 years ago when she was doing pieces for Omni and Discovery Magazines. Back then, I dismissively never read any of her pieces, assuming she was technical not hysterical. Then I read Stiff. God, she’s funny. David Sedaris in a morgue. Funnier, actually. Mary Roach in a morgue. Morticia Addams in Ann Taylor slacks. Mary is a laugh out loud writer that deserves as wide an audience as any humorist working today. Nice to see Mary’s smiling face again.
