Margaret Daley

Biography

Margaret has been writing for over 30 years. She started writing in the late 1970s because she wanted to see if she could put a whole story down on paper. That book is still in the drawer and will never see the light of day. But she was able to finish a book, which was her goal.

She decided after that to get some help, and joined a writers' roundtable where she met once a week with some fellow writers who went over each other's work. She sold her first book in the early 1980s and has been selling ever since.
She loves to tell a story. When she was a little girl she made up stories while playing with her dolls. On long trips with her family she would weave a story about the surrounding countryside. From those early beginnings grew a love of entertaining people with a story.

When she went away to college, she met her husband, Mike, to whom she has been married for over 40 years. He is her support and her best friend. She has always felt she was the luckiest woman the day she bumped into him on campus.
When they married, they moved to Tulsa, where she finished her degree in special education and began teaching. She loved teaching and working with students with special needs. They helped her remember what is important in life. She also participated in the Special Olympics as a coach with her students and has attended the State Games in May for years. Recently she retired from teaching to write full-time.

Besides teaching and writing, she is also a mother of one. Her son, Shaun, loves animals and there have been times they could have their own zoo at the house. The most interesting pet Shaun had is a leopard tortoise, which could outlive him. She has joked that his children will be inheriting a tortoise. He is married with four daughters.

When she isn't working, she loves to read, travel, and go to lunch and a movie with a friend. She has been to many countries in the world and loves to meet new people. Her favorite place is Tahiti -- Bora Bora. It is as beautiful as all the pictures portray it.

In her travels she has found herself in some interesting situations. Once, in London, she got caught in the middle of a protest that later turned into a riot over poll taxes. In the rain forest of Costa Rica, she was covered from head to toe in mud and ruined a perfectly good outfit. She should have remembered it was going to be wet since it was called a rain forest. In Rio, she and a friend were left with no means to get back to the hotel on the other side of the city. Neither Margaret nor her companion spoke Portuguese and there wasn't a cab in sight. Thankfully one finally pulled up to the curb at the museum because she couldn't see herself hiking across Rio to get back to the hotel at night.

My Review:



The Baby Rescue
By: Margaret Daley

Great story. I loved the characters so believable. I would say Colton was my favorite. This book kept me reading and not putting it down. Lots of adventure.
The story is about a baby smuggling ring. U.S. Marshal Colton Phillips has to work with the FBI to capture the top ring leaders. The FBI sends him a woman to work with and Colton is not much for being a team player.  Of all things he has to partner with a woman. He promises himself he isn’t going to let a woman get to his heart. He needs to keep his heart in check and now here is this beautiful woman Lisette he has to work side by side with. This can get a little nerve racking. Colton is not one to play by rules he wants to get the job done and move on. Colton has a past history that just haunts him to where he doesn’t get close to people. Wonder what he is hiding deep down and won’t share? Lisette has her own issues and she is tight lipped about.  Working together undercover and Lisette lets her guard down. Shots are fired who got hit? What happened to the baby was it to late to save her? 
Great book lots of action!  If you like romance there is romance also. 










E-BOOK This book was given to me to review and to give my own honest opinion.
