Marcia Coffey Turnquist

Marcia Coffey Turnquist, an author and journalist, is currently writing her second novel, Skipping the Light. Before venturing into the world of fiction, she spent 12 years as a news broadcaster, working her way back to her hometown of Portland, Oregon and KOIN-TV. Marcia decided to retire from broadcasting to raise the son and daughter who ultimately inspired her debut novel, The God of Sno Cone Blue, or as it's sometimes searched, Snow Cone Blue. Her two children are all but grown now, with one off to college and the other not far behind. She lives with her husband Ed and their youngest in the soggy-but-green suburbs of Portland.
