Brief Author Bio:

Marguerite Arotin has been writing since the third grade when she wrote her first story for a Halloween class project and loved the praise she got from it. She didn’t pick up her first romance novel, however, until the age of nineteen when she met her husband who showed her that true love does exist.

Her fascination with Ohio history dates back to when she was working at a place close to the Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area and would walk the remains of the old towpath imagining what life was back when mules pulled the boats along the very path she walked along. Her daydreams led her to write The Locktender's Daughter, which was published in May of 2007. Currently, she has two more titles available through The Wild Rose Press in both the Western and Vintage rose categories.

In addition to wondering what life was like long ago, Marguerite has loved a good fantasy tale since the age of ten when she read the Narnia Chronicles and saw The Last Unicorn at the movies. It just took her awhile to muster up the courage to create her own realm. When she's not roaming around her fantasy realm or surfing the net on her laptop with a cat on her lap, Marguerite spends her days chasing her son around the house and making sure he doesn't get into trouble.
