Marja Coons-Torn always imagined herself as a novelist, and finally the characters and plot of The Franklin Key wouldn't leave her alone! This time travel thriller is her debut novel. She’s excited about continuing to write, and all kinds of things seem possible. She has a children's book in the works, tentatively called The Fairy Godchild, and is working on a novella called Magical.

Marja and her husband Jim live in Western New York, where they enjoy travel and books almost as much as they enjoy the beauty of Lake Erie and Niagara Falls. Marja is a retired non-profit executive with a quirky sense of humor. She believes the best stories are born from a healthy dose of imagination and a little bit of chaos. Marja is eager to introduce her readers to Leah Goodwell, whose adventures take her into the company of Benjamin Franklin.

And now there is a second adventure called The Galileo Ducat. Its available from Amazon as an ebook, paperback or large print paperback. Thanks for reading. I'm hard at work on The Marco Porcelain.
