Marsha Whitney, a former symphony flutist, earned her B.A. degree in Russian and taught flute/Baroque recorder. She was raised and lives in sunny Florida, where pivotal action of her debut cozy murder mystery, Control Game, takes place. Like her character ‘Liz,’ Marsha manages vacation rentals and enjoys English Country dance, but she wears a lot shorter shoes. Her new historical cozy mystery series is set in Florida on the St. Johns River and takes place in 1865. Research for this series is great fun, as the author gets to learn about things such as travel on a sidewheeler steamboat. Other fun topics that came up were a stage coach route through the scrub and sand between St. Augustine and the St. Johns River, and things like the Argand lamp, nine times brighter than lamps of the day, and a fancy gun carried by some confederate officers, the Lemat, which was a 9-shot revolver and a shotgun all in one. The books feature young actress Sadie Snow, who was behind the curtain at Ford's Theatre in Washington, when she heard a shot. Peeking out, she saw fellow actor John Booth vault down from President Lincoln's box onto the stage and brandish a huge Bowie knife above his head. How will she avoid being pulled into the investigation and charged along with several others? That begins the tale of "Death by Alligator." Marsha enjoys yoga, hiking, and singing. Her Children’s book "Chloe and Orangina," available in English, French, and Spanish, blends magic, singing, and friendship in a gentle tale set in a beautiful woodland. The page entitled 'Can You Find These' at the end adds a bit of fun in finding animals hidden throughout the book. The coloring book edition, "You and Orangina," allows the book purchaser to add her own name or that of a special friend and to create personal color schemes for the beautiful pictures. "Jaeval Handles It" features a boy who is angry at his teacher, but fears confronting him. Jaeval learns a way to tell the teacher, "That's not OK."
