Marnie Stearns, Published Author

A little bit about myself.

I am Marnie Stearns, a 14-year-old writer. I discovered my passion for writing when I was 5-years-old. I wrote many short stories and became a Published Author when I was 10-years-old. I did my best to write this book to provide more adventures for “The White Cat.” This is my second published book.

So far I’m very experienced in the arts, such as drawing, acting, writing, singing, and playing the saxophone. I mostly write fiction books, but I also want to write some non-fiction books in the future. I hope you enjoy reading this book!

Meet Carrie Will.

Hi, I am Carrie Will, the author of Michigan’s State Stone. I live in Gladwin, Michigan and am the Executive Director for the Gladwin County Chamber of Commerce. I have an Associate’s degree in Biology, Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management and a Master’s degree in Human Resources.

Three years ago, I was working for a corporation in Charlevoix Michigan, and I would go to Fisherman’s Island when I had a little extra time. I did not know at that time what a Petoskey stone was, I had never found one for myself. (Click button to read more)
