MEET THE AUTHOR: Marilyn A. Hudson

Life is just too short for only one hat, says Marilyn A. Hudson, and so she juggles several at a time. She is a library director, a storyteller, and an author. She has published, under her own umbrella of Hudson House Publishing/Whorl Books Imprint, two children's books, "Elephant Hips are Expensive!" (illustrated by Haley Fulco) and "The Adventures of a Sooner Space Monkey", a manual "Off the Page! Basic Tips for Conducting a Story Time", and a series of small booklets, called "Thumbprints", offering suspense/paranormal, history, and religious reading. She also manages several blogs and web-sites providing information about various Oklahoma groups and events. Marilyn is the co-author and project manager for the history of Southwestern Christian University in Bethany, OK. The book provocatively titled "One Night Club and A Mule Barn" chronicles their simple roots in 1946 to the present. It was published by Tate in 2006. She is also co-writing a suspense novel.
