Wife, mother, grandmother, business woman, teacher and speaker, Marilyn began her writing career as a published author by writing inspirational short stories in the late eighties.
Marilyn made her debut as a novelist in 2005 with The Gentile and the Jew: A Divine Romance. The book's beloved characters made such an impact on readers that the story continued to flow, resulting in a sequel, Going Home: A Divine Journey, which was published in the fall of 2007. Marilyn's storytelling has taken a totally different turn in Sweet Beulah Land which became available in December 2008. Read about it on the "Books" page!
Marilyn is married to her high school sweetheart, Ricky Thomas. They have two lovely daughters and six very precious grandchildren. The Thomases make their home in southeastern North Carolina.
