Marilyn E. Oakley

Marilyn, the youngest of four, was born in Casper, Wyoming. Having lived in Denver then Oklahoma City, at four years old, her family moved to Calgary, Alberta, Canada. She grew up in Calgary but did move to Spokane, Washington to pursue a career teaching high school and middle school special education. The love of Calgary and the beautiful Canadian Rockies brought her back to her home.

Marilyn loves to travel, play tennis, badminton, curl, ski and hike. She is an avid sports fan, loves going to movies and reading.

Her biggest passion is her family and is very proud to be the mother of her daughter, Charlotte.

This is my first novel and it has taken me close to 16 years to write it. Twenty-one years ago, I had written the first two books in a children's series but put it away when I received too many rejections from publishing houses. I'm excited to re-write them (to bring them up to date) and continue the series. So look for "The Peppermint Lane Detectives", on Amazon Kindle, within the next year. I am planning to do a prequel and a sequel to Life Unconditionally. I am waiting for feedback from my readers to hear what they would like to read more about.
