"An Erma Bombeck...her humor is clever"
- Publisher's Weekly
"Laugh-out-loud humor" - Florida Times Union
Military wife, author and columnist Sarah Smiley's feature about being a military wife is syndicated to newspapers and magazines across the country. She has been featured in The New York Times Magazine and Newsweek, and on ABC's Nightline and The Early Show (CBS). Sarah has represented military wives as a commentator on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and various other local and national radio programs. (Links and transcripts here)
Sarah's first book, Going Overboard, chronicles her life as a military wife. Her life rights were optioned by Kelsey Grammer's company, Grammnet, and Paramount Television, to be made into a half-hour sitcom about military wives.
Sarah's military writing embodies the non-traditional aspects of military life and brings to light an area long avoided by others in the military community: the pithy, humorous, and sometimes politically incorrect side.
And yet Sarah might well be most known for her accounts of raising three boys (two of them with an affinity for Superman underpants and red capes), and living with a "highly-trained military pilot ready for combat," who for all his efforts, just can't keep himself (or his fear of baby dolls) out of her columns.
