Marlene Cunningham

Marlene's last three books, The Moon Is Following You, The Big One and Paycheck, were written where she lives in Rockaway Beach, New York, in a house on the cusp of the sea. She shares her home with Neil, her husband, and a rescue pup.

She has loved to write and tell stories since she first clutched a crayon. Her paintings are represented on two of her last book covers. Other interests, besides the wonderful characters who claim temporary residency in her head, are her children, birds and animals, (hello, cats!) the acquisition of new facts, and learning about people, their problems and their personal triumphs.
