SARAH SHANKMAN

CHARACTER:	SAMANTHA ADDAMS
CATEGORY:	REPORTER

Reporter Sam Addams returned to her native Atlanta after her lover, a San Francisco policeman, was killed. Her reporting takes her into oddball situations which, happily, lend themselves to outrageous satire. Shankman's descriptions of the New South are biting, but always grounded in reality.

First Kill All The Lawyers
Then Hang All The Liars
Now Let's Talk Of Graves
She Walks In Beauty
The King Is Dead
He Was Her Man
