Currently, Lucy's syndicated column, from which she drew the content for If Mama Don’t Laugh, appears in newspapers in Georgia and Tennessee.  Enthusiastic readers have dubbed her as the next “Erma Grizzard.”  Christina Lee of Creator’s Syndicate writes, “Your work is remarkably clever and appealing.”
As a member of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists, Lucy is serious about her craft.  After a college education, two rounds of graduate school, nearly fifteen years of marriage, four children, and a series of odd jobs, she has finally figured out what she wants to be when she grows up.  And she is uniquely talented at it.  The major point of departure of her work from other humor columnists is its energy, vitality, and vividness, which cooperate to captivate readers, every one of whom pledges lifelong loyalty.

With a background in Psychology (M.S.), Lucy is fully equipped to probe the human condition and present it to readers in a humorous, yet provocative, manner.  And the publisher of the McDuffie Mirror, Jason Smith, remarks that Life’s Little Lessons draws more response from readers than any other item in the paper.  A reader of the Columbia County News-Times assured Barry Paschal, publisher, “If you continue to have Ms. Adams’ articles in your paper . . . be warned! . . . your readership will probably triple.”  Her wide range of subject matter adds to her strengths as a writer.

In fan mail, e-mail, and grocery store testimonials, admirers (male, female, young and old) say they buy newspapers just to read Lucy Adams.  In this Age of Information, daily we are bombarded with negative news.  In If Mama Don’t, readers find a hometown feel coupled with wide appeal, providing them with a reprieve from the appalling.  Readers can put down the burdens of the day, have a therapeutic laugh, and enjoy the sensation of sharing anecdotes with a next door neighbor.

“From the first week The Mirror began including Lucy’s column, her words have been one of the most talked about parts of the newspaper. Hardly an issue goes by that I don’t run into someone that thanks me for running her column and tells me how much they enjoy reading it. Lucy is smart enough to make fun of herself and sharp enough to make sure everyone will enjoy her slices of life. She’s certainly been a big part of The Mirror’s success, and I’ve never regretted taking a chance on her.”
