Marilyn W Lathrop grew up dreaming about the stars on a farm northwest of Clovis, New Mexico, in a day when the night sky was truly dark. It was her birthday when the first man walked on the moon, July 20, 1969. Cannon Air Force base near her home teemed with jets and she dreamed of space travel. Marilyn still loves the noise of sonic booms and misses the days when they were the sound of freedom instead of treated as an annoyance. Marilyn has seen a few UFO’s (unexplained flying objects). Are aliens really out there? She’s not sure. Now living in rural southeastern New Mexico, the old days of dark nights are gone, but Marilyn still dreams of stars. Marilyn is an artist who has transferred her love of creating pictures to fiction. She has studied writing and written fiction since childhood. While at University of New Mexico, she studied poetry writing with Leslie Marmon Silko and fiction writing with Carol Berge, joining Berge’s writing group for a time. She was also a member of the now defunct “Lit Dogs” poetry performance group. And she’s a founding member of “Writing Rogues” a fiction writer’s group. Look for the 3rd in the New Mexico Romance trilogy set in the Over the Edge universe coming late 2019. Watch for a reboot of the main series: Over the Edge!
