Marilyn Bay Wentz

Marilyn Bay Wentz grew up on a farm in northern Colorado, near the land homesteaded by her great-great grandparents. Today she is an avid gardener and loves to freeze, can and dry food and herbs from her substantial garden. As a result, she has taken the view that more than one trip per month to the grocery store is too much. In addition to writing and editing agricultural publications, she operates Prairie Natural Lamb. She enjoys training horses and is a certified Colorado 4-H horse show judge and level rater. Prior to settling down in her native Colorado, she was general manager of the Taiwan public relations branch of Saatchi and Saatchi Advertising, then the world's largest advertising agency and also spent six months in rural Costa Rica. She is fluent in Spanish and speaks conversational Mandarin Chinese. Prairie Grace is Bay Wentz' first novel.
