    Marilyn Kriete

    Marilyn Kriete is the author of the multiple award-winning, debut memoir, "PARADISE ROAD," the story of her adventurous early life and the loss that resurfaces two decades later in "THE BOX MUST BE EMPTY." Her poetry and essays have been published in anthologies and by Longreads.com, The Lyric, Storyteller, The Eastern Iowa Review, The English Bay Review, and Brevity Blog. She's been the happy winner of several writing contests. "PARADISE ROAD" was named the winner in the non-fiction adventure category of the 2022 Book Excellence Awards. The 15th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards named her memoir the winner in the Young Adult Non-Fiction category and a finalist for New Adult Non-Fiction. It was also a finalist for Book Cover Design-Nonfiction. Born in Edmonton, Canada, Marilyn's service as a ministry leader took her and her husband Henry to four continents and sixteen cities. She currently lives in British Columbia, Canada, where she writes and hikes and tries to imagine the next twist in her unpredictable journey. A third memoir awaits publication. You can follow her writing journey on MarilynKriete.com.
