Fantasy novelist Delia Marshall Turner collects fountain pens, spends time with the grandchild and the adult child, sews, and writes novels.  She is a four-time world champion in veteran women’s sabre fencing. Despite decades as a teacher, and despite various graduate degrees, she was not actually qualified to teach any of the subjects she taught.  She attributes her success to her complete inability to focus.*  She is the author of Nameless Magery, Of Swords and Spells, and The Stick Princess in the Ways of Magic series, and of Dog of the Dead, first book in the Ms. Whitaker series. Her books are available on Amazon.
