Mary Lou and her husband Russ live on a farm in central Indiana, in the same area where she grew up. She has enjoyed writing her entire lifetime, but only recently, after retiring from a career spent as a legal secretary and court reporter, and also after raising two daughters, and welcoming eight grandchildren into the world, has she started publishing. She finds it gratifying, while doing something she so thoroughly enjoys, to in this way share her faith with others, especially with young people.
Not only has Mary Lou found retirement as busy as working fulltime, but she also finds that the more she writes, the more she wants to say. In addition to the "Jessy Learns" series, she is currently working on a fantasy for teenagers, "Rewind To The Beginning", and another book about her own life titled "Uniquely Blessed".
