And I’ve never met a cheese I didn’t like. I have a six year old daughter who challenges me each and every day. I’ve been married to my fabulous husband for nearly fifteen years. I’m a fan of the Denver Broncos (even though this season was particularly painful). I’m a graduate of Colorado State University. I was born in Wyoming and raised in Colorado, and I get a bit twitchy when the mountains aren’t in sight.

Who is the woman behind these scrumptious books? Marie, first tell us a bit about yourself. (I hope she'll forgive me for this next photo, but it's one of my favorites from the cruise. I hope I still had something left to teach her! She was also a member of the inaugural Soon-To-Be-Annual Midnight Black Tie Drunken Shuffleboard Tournament on the final night of the cruise.

I cannot, however, take any credit for them, as they were all written before the cruise. (More about that later) We hit it off as friends, too, and I have since enjoyed her books very much. I am proud to claim Marie Sexton as one of my students we met because she came on the first Writing on the Waves workshop cruise last May.
