Award winning author, humorist, speaker and teacher Mary Fran Bontempo has been writing for and about women for over 25 years. With wit and humor, she delivers a message that will inspire women to gain control of their lives, re-focus, re-energize and grab their fair share of joy as they meet life’s challenges head-on. 

Mary Fran's new book, "Not Ready For Granny Panties--The 11 Commandments for Avoiding Granny Panties" gives women a light-hearted look into 11 "commandments" that will help them make themselves a priority in their own lives.

With directives such as "Thou Shalt Fuhgeddaboudit," "Thou Shalt Scare Thyself," and "Thou Shalt Stop 'Shoulding' Thyself," Mary Fran empowers women to eliminate what doesn't work and embrace what does to make life more fulfilling and manageable
