Mari Barnes
ML Barnes has been a practicing word nerd for most of her life. She’s never met a bookstore or adventure (mostly in books) that she didn’t like. After being told by an agent that her novel was “good and very funny,” but that the agent wouldn't represent it, Mari created a publishing company—Flying Turtle Publishing—to get Parting River Jordan in print. Parting River Jordan is the result of her first National Novel Writing Month effort. Mari lives with her family in Hammond, Indiana.
