Her first book, The Estate in the Woods, has a five-star rating on Amazon.com and has been distributed worldwide. She closed her manuscript The Impossible Texan in hopes that it will be on the market shortly.
Muriel has been married to her husband, Loren, for the past fifty-seven years.
They have lived in the same house in the same town all this time, and they have four children, eight grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
As their children grew, their home filled with children from the town. They always knew there would be a pot of soup on the stove, a large pan of popcorn, and six-packs of Pepsi if they stopped in during the day or evening.
And as her children grew up and left, so did all the children who had stopped in. Now her home is quiet but for the barking of their rat terrier, named Killer.
She has written three novels and many short stories and poems. She put them into a box in the back of her closet. One quiet day, she pulled them out and read them. She thought about publishing them, and she sent the first one in.
Muriel knew that of all that she has done over the years, it is her love of reading and writing poems, a family history book, short stories, and writing novels that she likes the most.view less
