Come sit a while with me ...

"From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other. But when books are opened,
you discover you have wings."
Helen Hayes wrote these treasured words, and they mirror my feelings.
Marilyn Gardiner has been writing and selling for a long time. She's sold poetry, short stories and articles to newspapers, magazines, and religious publications of all kinds. Everything from stories for very young children to senior citizen love stories, newsletters, booklets of daily meditations, and Bible studies. And, of course, she has ten novels published as well. You name it, and she's written it.
Reading, writing and music are Marilyn's passions. She's been married most of her life to the same man, has two grown daughters, a number of brilliant, beautiful and beloved grandchildre, and even 4 incredible beautiful great grandchildren!
Three of Marilyn's novels have garnered a Golden Wings Award for excellence in writing. She's also won or placed in several writing contests. Flight of Angels, Like a River My Love and My Pretty Lady all received four star reviews from the prestigious Romantic Times. Sit back, put up your feet and let me tweak your imagination by taking you to places -- some inside yourself and some actual geographical locations -- you've never been. Excerpts of my novels are here to both remind you of yourself, and to peek into possible future scenarios. My aim is to entertain and challenge-- often to explain the inexplicable -- by inviting you to enter my worlds.
