About the Author
Marcia A. Curran
Marcia A. Curran is a journal writer, a mother, a grandmother, and a recovered widow whose husband died at age 56. She lives near Boston, Mass.
 Curran started in-depth journal keeping in April of 1984. The journals are written in 8 x 11 spiral notebooks and are filled with day-to-day living, thoughts, reminiscences, and observations of the world around her. The journals are her way of preserving memories, and they have acted as a guide to her present and future books.
Curran’s interests include writing, gardening, cooking and baking, reading, and the British Royal Family. She lives with a Siamese cat named Paisley Elizabeth Topaz, in a little Cape Codstyle home crammed with treasures gathered at yard sales, flea markets, and auctions. She is the mother of three grown children and “Grammy” to seven grandchildren, and she is also a sister, a sister-in-law, an aunt, and a friend to her pals.
Curran maintains, “I never want to ‘lose sight of me.’ I think my strength in writing comes from my being a typical woman, and I want to stay that way.”
