Marsha CorneliusAfter working for fifteen years as a cafeteria manager in an elementary school, Marsha Cornelius turned in her non-skid shoes for house slippers. She now works at home writing novels, avoiding the pile of dirty laundry in her closet, and gathering gosip as she walks in her own neighborhood. She occasionally fixes a hot cooked meal for her long-suffering husband. Like thousands of others, she thought she could write romance, but soon discovered she was a dismal failure. She did increase her repertoire of adjectives such as throbbing, pulsing, thrumming, vibrating, hammering, pumping . . . Originally from Indiana, Cornelius lives in the countryside north of Atlanta with her husband and two molly-coddled cats who refuse to wear socks and dust the furniture. When she isn't writing, she's busy with a monthly literary event she organized called A Novel Idea. She invites six local authors to a restaurant where they read excerpts from their latest work while guests dine. Read More Read Less
