Some additional info about the author -

Marjorie Grace Patricia Bridget Owen.

Was born on September 11th 1911 in England and endured the bombardment of World War II. She was born out-of-wedlock with an Irish Lord for a father and a Russian princess as her mother. Although her life before working is somewhat sketchy, her career, as a major London department store clothing buyer, was long and interesting. Members of the Royal family were amongst some of her more famous clients Marjorie found time to write many short stories and four novels ranging from romance to mystery. She did not attempt to publish any of her writings. We can only surmise that she wrote for the joy and did not wish to seek out any recognition or fame.

Marjorie passed away on March 28th 2004, after a very full life, at the age of ninety-three.

As an avid reader I became fascinated with Mum’s stories and books. All her writings were hand written on legal size paper or note books and on both sides of the paper.
I began reading some of the short stories ( there are fifty plus). After reading a few, I was hooked and decided to attempt, to me, the monumental task of transcribing them to computer. Mum’s writing was not the clearest, however, I had set myself the challenge and was going to follow through. At first, my husband, Mike would assist me with ‘translation’ of her hand writing. At times we would both become frustrated with each other and Mum. After a couple of stories, I was now the expert, reading her writing and even improving my typing skills and speed. I have not completed the task, with a few more stories to go and two novels, after three years of work. I have had several of her stories published with online magazines, without pay. But exposure is important. The first book of Mum’s is to be published in November 2007. “Ladies of Class” at Vintage Romance Publishing. I am really happy and hope that the book will be a success and lead to further books and stories being published. My blog for Mum’s writings is http://marjo-mumswriting.blogspot.com
