What I Loved

MaryLu Tyndall did it again for me with the Charles Town Belles series! Now there's not just pirates, but lady pirates! The heroines aren't just feisty, they know what they want and they go out after it...daring, anyone? Still, their choices sometimes often get them into trouble--and even into love.

Why I Recommend These Books

Strong spiritual messages abound. I just adore the fact that I'm not only entertained, but challenged in my faith when I reread Tyndall's books. And, do I ever...reread, I mean. I pick up her books often. Because I want to try to catch again that elusive element of her writing that make all her books so enchanting. Because I want to visit with the characters with whom I've made friends. Because the stories are that good!

About the Author

Acclaimed author, M.L. (MaryLu) Tyndall dreamt of pirates and sea-faring adventures during her childhood days on Florida's Coast. After obtaining a degree in Math and working as software engineer for 15 years, she decided to test the waters as a writer. With now more than ten books published, she makes no excuses for the deeply spiritual themes embedded within her romantic adventures.

As a follower of Christ, her stories often reflect her own journey and walk with God. Her hope is that readers will not only be entertained but will be brought closer to the Creator who loves them beyond measure. In a culture that accepts the occult, wizards, zombies, and vampires without batting an eye, MaryLu hopes to show the awesome present and powerful acts of God in a dying world. A Christy award nominee, MaryLu makes her home with her husband, six children, and four cats on the California coast, where her imagination still surges with the sea.
