Marlene Baird is a fresh voice in contemporary fiction. Engaging and unique characters bring her stories to life. Her four published novels encompass a murder mystery, a romantic suspense featuring a middle-aged divorcee, a story about faith and its loss, and a compassionate look at a female alcoholic struggling to regain her children.

In Murder Times Two, two estranged brothers meet for only thirty minutes in their adult lives. That is time enough, the police deduce, for murder. Only a beautiful woman knows the truth.

Minnie Zuccarelli, a red-headed, feisty 57-year-old divorcee puts herself on the line to protect an endangered species in Minnie and the Manatee.
