AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT - Marilyn Pappano

 Good morning, readers.

Once again I'm a day behind, thanks to Earth Mother. Instead of writing this post on Monday, I spent the afternoon packing up the electronics and prepping the storm corner for yet another round of potential tornadoes and severe weather.

We've lived here twenty years and received more tornado warnings just THIS year than in the first nineteen. We thought we'd moved just south of tornado alley but apparently, the path is widening and becoming more fierce. 

So, Author Spotlight on Wednesday it is. 

I wasn't sure where I was going this week so pulled up the first 'most recent' download from bookbub to find this author from Oklahoma:

Here's a bit about Marilyn:

Award-winning and bestselling author, international traveler, feted at a Hollywood premiere . . .

 All true . . . but my regular life is a whole lot more routine. Deal with the five big puppers who share our house, babysit our grandson, battle the jungle that is our yard, pray for summer in winter and dream of winter in summer, and hunker down at the computer -- that's my real life.

I grew up in Oklahoma and had the fun of living in Georgia, Alabama, California and the Carolinas, thanks to my husband's Navy career. When he retired, we came home to Oklahoma and have lived in the same house for seventeen years. That's a real "Wow!" for someone used to the nomadic military life.

Writing was the perfect career for all that moving. Have computer, will travel. I've set books, or part of them, in every state we've lived in and been inspired by every place I've ever been. I've now written somewhere around 80 books, and I think I've got only about 8,000 stories left to tell.

My biggest hobby is starting new projects -- starting. Not completing. I'm still not done with the cross-stitched Army seal I started when our son joined out of high school. He did tours in Georgia, Colorado, Korea, Italy, Iraq, Afghanistan and Louisiana, and has been out for a few years. So I'm a little slow.

I like to think about getting organized, painting my living room in cool beachy colors, and turning my entire five-acre yard into a garden. I also dream about having every room in my house clean at exactly the same time, but I live by the motto of the woman who taught me to quilt: A clean house is the sign of a bored woman.

And I've never been bored.

How many of us can relate to starting projects we never finish - or at the very least - take forever to come back to?

Writing doesn't seem to be an issue with over 80 books to her credit.

Tomorrow, I'll be posting a review of A Man To Hold On To. Normally, I wouldn't share links early but this is still FREE on Kindle. Just click the title to be taken to the book on Amazon.
