Marla H. Thurman has published numerous articles and spiritual reflections in various venues including the East Tennessee Catholic, Catholic Digest, The National Catholic Reporter, Insync Magazine, and Sage of Consciousness Magazine. While her spiritual reflections seem to have the easiest times finding homes in the publishing world, Marla is writing her memoirs and numerous short stories based on her life and she hopes to find homes for these efforts, as well. She has so far sold nine creative nonfiction stories to CommonTies ezine since March 2007. Her short story, "A Call to Change," was recently published in the book Living the Serenity Prayer. Marla lives on Signal Mountain with her dogs, Oreo and Sleeper and she tutors and edits to support her writing habit. Her dream is that one day soon she will be wildly successful as a writer and that her favorite author, Pat Conroy (The Prince of Tides, The Great Santini), will one day ask for her autograph.
