Marilyn Turk's roots are in the coastal South, born and raised in Louisiana, now a Florida resident. An award-winning author, she calls herself a "literary archaeologist" because she loves to discover stories in history that her fictional characters can experience. A fascination for lighthouses spawned her popular weekly lighthouse blog @pathwayheart.com, and inspired her to write Lighthouse Devotions. She has published three World War II era historical suspense novels, one dual-time - Abigail's Secret, and the four-book Coastal Lights Legacy series set in the 1800's South, and has novellas in eight collections.

Marilyn Turk recommends
Garden of the Midnights (2023)
Hannah Linder
"Garden of the Midnights is [the] most exciting Regency story I have read. From the first page, this skillfully written tale takes the reader on a journey that sweeps them off their feet and keeps them moving as they experience romance, suspense, intrigue and heroism. Hannah Linder's writing evokes passion, fear, and excitement, keeping the reader enthralled all the way to a perfectly satisfying ending."
