About the Author: Marilyn Hansen
Marilyn Hansen’s journey into the world of writing began with the intoxicating scent of ink and paper. Each new book was a portal to adventure, and today, every blank page she encounters promises the same excitement. As a passionate creator, Marilyn delves into multiple artistic mediums, including painting, stone sculpture, and mural work. Her autobiographical piece, “Red Splashes,” features vibrant reproductions of her art, accompanied by memoir-like short stories and poems.
In “It’s Not Over,” Marilyn collaborates with a co-author to explore the vibrant world of senior online dating through fictionalized narratives. Their characters savor fine wine, romantic dinners, cultural escapades, and even exotic travels, with art, poems, and song lyrics adding depth to their tales. An audible version is in the works, and Joe’s CD “Souls Need a Playmate” with The Poetic Rhythmics is also available on Amazon.
Marilyn’s latest poetry collection, “Knitted Words,” weaves memoir-like poems from her life’s journey. Additionally, her passion for fiber arts shines through in her upcoming book for intermediate knitters, offering creative solutions to knitting challenges, each essay accompanied by a whimsical collage.
