Marcia S. Byerly is an artist and an author living in North Carolina with her husband, a corporate pilot, and their dachshund, Jack. She began her venture into the eBook world with her desire to have "Aquilla, Indian Captive" published. This book was written years ago by her mother, an extraordinary, talented woman who spent 10 years writing this Young Adult story, but was never able to find a publisher. Now with self-publishing, Marcia is able to make her mother's dream a reality. In the process, Marcia discovered her own love and talent for writing and is now publishing The Adventures of Jonny Dimbo, a series of adult books that will charm you with its many memorable characters and keep you coming back for more stories and intricate plots.
