Autorenporträt
Marilyn Reynolds is the author of ten books of realistic teen fiction in the True-to- Life Series from Hamilton High, a book for educators, I Won t Read and You Can t Make Me: Reaching Reluctant Teen Readers, and a collection of personal essays, Over 70 and I Don t Mean MPH. She started work on Til Death or Dementia Do Us Part shortly after her husband, Michael Reynolds, was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). At that time, in 2009, Reynolds searched in vain for personal stories written by FTD caregivers. Finding none, she set about writing the book she wished she could have read. It usually takes Reynolds nine months to a year to write a book. This eight year project was often laborious and excruciating. She hopes that her original mission will be fulfilled, and that others may gain a degree of insight and understanding through this account of her struggles to meet the financial, physical, and emotional challenges that occurred with her bright, talented, loving, husband s passage into the hell that is FTD. A retired teacher, Reynolds remains actively involved in education through writing programs for underserved youth, and through author visits to middle and high school students. With three grown children and five nearly grown grandchildren, Reynolds enjoys family gatherings, walks in her Sacramento neighborhood, movies and dinners out with friends, and the luxury of reading at odd hours of the day and night. She is happy to now be at work on the 11th book in the Hamilton High series.
