About

Marilyn lives with her husband in the northwest U.S., not too far from the Canadian border, and believes the long, cold winters are perfect “writing weather.” She looks forward to the winter holidays, and doesn’t mind the snow, except when she needs to drive in it.

Although she imagines travelling to distant, romantic shores, she’s a country girl at heart, and her favorite place is home with her family.

She loves music, flowers, sci-fi movies, and taking daily walks with Precious, her rescued dog.

Marilyn writes erotic romance because it lets her explore love, passion, and sex, through the lens of different characters and settings. It’s also a way to keep her imagination kindled during the September to March “cold snap.”

She started writing sexy stories “just for fun” seven years ago. Today, she’ll laughingly admit she’s absolutely obsessed with creating hard-core dominant heroes and happily-ever-after endings.

She appreciates comfy shoes, doesn’t need many high heels, but owns a pair of snowshoes in case her hubby wants to hike into their tiny, off-the-grid, “summer cabin” in the winter. She adores that there are no mosquitoes or hornets when it’s snowy.

Description

<p><span><span>Harold Godwineson, the Last Anglo-Saxon King, owed everything to his father. Who was this Godwine, first Earl of Wessex and known as the Kingmaker? Was he an unscrupulous schemer, using King and Witan to gain power? Or was he the greatest of all Saxon Earls, protector of the English against the hated Normans? The answer depends on who you ask. He was befriended by the Danes, raised up by Canute the Great, given an Earldom and a wife from the highest Danish ranks. He sired nine children, among them four Earls, a Queen and a future King. Along with his power came a struggle to keep his enemies at bay, and Godwine's best efforts were brought down by the misdeeds of his eldest son Swegn. Although he became father-in-law to a reluctant Edward the Confessor, his fortunes dwindled as the Normans gained prominence at court. Driven into exile, Godwine regathered his forces and came back even stronger, only to discover that his second son Harold was destined to surpass him in renown and glory.</span></span></p>
