Raised in Fort Worth, Texas, Marcia (Marcie) Penland has lived in five states and in Europe. She has a degree in English and journalism from the University of Texas in Austin. Having retired from teaching mathematics for over 20 years, Marcia now spends much of her time painting and writing. She sells her paintings at art galleries and shows while participating in art leagues and studying with regional artists. Her two recently published books combine Marcia's professional and personal interests while reflecting her priority of faith and relationships. A healthy dose of humor, camaraderie, and suspense is sprinkled throughout her writing.
