About the Author

Mardo Williams began his writing career in 1927 as the only reporter at the Kenton, Ohio daily, The News-Republican, eventually writing a daily business column with byline for The Columbus Dispatch. At age 89 he wrote a book about his mother, Maude (1883-1993): She Grew Up with the Country, an intimate look at the woman, the country, and the times. Two years later when Maude was published, he toured with it, traveling extensively for book signings, speaking engagements, and interviews. A favorite with book discussion groups, Maude has been adopted by several colleges for use as a supplemental American history text.

Next, after penning a whimsical book of children�s stories, Great Grandpa Fussy and the Little Puckerdoodles, Mardo decided to try something completely different�a novel. He completed the first draft�all but the ending�of One Last Dance in January of 2001. His daughters, Kay Williams and Jerri William Lawrence, revised the manuscript for publication.

Kay Williams is a writer, editor and actress in New York. She belongs to a writers group who meet regularly to hear and discuss each other�s work. The group made valuable suggestions as the manuscript of One Last Dance was revised. Kay�s suspense novel about the theater, Butcher of Dreams, is currently making the rounds of New York City publishers. Jerri Williams Lawrence is a former master English teacher, editor and writing teacher.
