The Old Bell - Jenn & Kelly Mystery, #1

Biographie de Marsha Keim

Marsha started writing stories back when she was in the 6th grade with her best friend.  Those stories have long ago been lost and Marsha has wanted to write for many years since.  It was not until just recently that she decided to actually set down and put pencil to paper, literally. Many of the activities she writes about are from things that she enjoys.  Some of her interests include reading mysteries, crocheting, taking care of her decorative pond and the various gold fish varieties that live there, watching her freshwater lobster wander around the aquarium, enjoying the company of their two outdoor cats, and enjoying all the different birds that come to her many bird feeders.   Activities that keep her busy, when not writing, include participating in the live steam hobby with her husband, watching their son swim, listening to their son play in the high school band, helping with their son's scout troop, caring for their large vegetable garden, and helping to lead one of the youth ministries at her church.  She currently works as a substitute teacher for three school districts.
When she creates a character for one of her fictional mysteries, she takes a single characteristic and builds the character around that.  It could take up to five of her characters to replicate a complete person.  She created the name of her fictional bookstore in memory of her dad; who did his reading in "the corner".  She imagines he is smiling.
