The Unpacking Paula books are collections of the author’s writings over the years. In her life, Paula Walborsky has been a local commentator for WFSU/NPR, a teacher of the deaf and a lawyer. She also was a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a stepmother, a wife, a cook and gardener, a friend, a Democrat, and an opinionated person, too. Paula has been an avid water aerobics participant and traveled widely and lived abroad. She has also written and collaborated on several cookbooks. Writing down her memories and thoughts, Paula published them as Unpacking Paula, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. For Paula, Tallahassee, Florida has been her home for decades, although she moved constantly, it seemed, from one naval base to another. Now, Paula has roots. And she has written about that, too. She has even written her own obituary. At least three times. She is quoted as saying, “Okay. OCD may be a teeny issue. I have not quite figured out how to write about my own death. But I’m working on it.” This year, Paula will moderate Word of South’s FBA nonfiction panel.
