Florida Soapmaker Cleans Up with New Novel; Babies, Books and Bubbles Spur Young Mom to Spin Entrepreneurial Tale
Tallahassee, FL (PRWEB) November 21, 2005 -- Shortly after an ultrasound discovered her twin pregnancy, Marilynn Griffith discovered something else -- she could no longer smell the fragrances for her seasonal soap business. Stuck on bed rest with books to read and orders to fill, the young mom recorded her thoughts in a journal and revived the lifelong writing passion she’d set aside a decade before.
Though her twins are older, Griffith doesn’t make much soap anymore. These days her creations are of the word variety. Griffith combined her love for writing and soapmaking into Made of Honor (Steeple Hill Café, January 2006), a first novel about a ten-time bridesmaid and owner of an upstart bath and body business.
When asked how she juggles books, babies (she now has a two-year-old) and occasionally making bubbles, Griffith shrugs. “I pray a lot and take one day at a time. Somehow, it all comes out in the wash.”
About the Author
Dayton, Ohio native Marilynn Griffith now lives in Florida with her busy, funny family. When not chasing babies, writing books or making bubbles, she blogs on the web.
About the Book
Dana Rose pledges to say “I won’t” the next time she’s asked to be in a wedding. Her weak will has turned her closet into cemetery for satin gowns from periwinkle to Pepto pink. After ten stints as bridesmaid, Dana thinks she’s seen it all. Then she’s fired, forced to turn her hobby into a business and faced with her prodigal brother, back-stabbing sis and Mr. Practically Perfect, the ex who not only married someone else, but opened the business of her dreams—across the street. There’s that Maid of Honor thing too… And this time she can’t say no. Will wedding #11 show Dana what’s she’s really made of?
