Biography

 Background Information

 Though Leading with My Heart is Marilee McLeod's second book, it is the first to be published under the pen name Marin McKenna. Marilee was born and raised in southeast Michigan, which is also the setting for her current book. A lifelong reader, much of what the author has learned about writing was self-taught.

"People couldn't believe it when I'd tell them that I always read the endings first," she says. "They thought that would ruin the suspense. But I just wanted to see how the author would go about developing the storyline. I didn't realize it at the time, but in essence I was sort of teaching myself how to weave a good yarn."

It apparently paid off, as Marilee is currently busy writing her next book...another romance novel. In her spare time the author is very active in her church, loves to travel, and especially enjoys spending time with her children and grandchildren. Marilee and her husband, Wayne, presently reside in a small town in central Illinois.

 For the past several years self-help books have long been at the top of everyone's must-read list. By simply picking up the latest book on the subject, a person could learn how to get a job, save a marriage, put one's finances in order, or raise well-adjusted children. How to Live Happily Ever After, A Guide for Successful Living explores all of these issues and more, in just one book.

"I think everyone has experienced some tough life problems that have seemed overwhelming and unsolvable," says author Marilee McLeod. "Because the answers haven't been right at our fingertips, we've often had to learn things the hard way...by fumbling our way through them. I thought, there has to be a better way."

The "better way" is achieved by combining common sense advice with a collection of exercises, designed to help put the advice into action. How to Live Happily Ever After addresses every stage of adulthood, from life after high school, to midlife and beyond, exploring not only the many challenges in life, but also life's extraordinary joys. It is Life's Little Instruction Book in amplified form. Order your copy today!
