edit data

Author of the acclaimed Hymns of Blue Hollow series, an epic 1940s Southern historical romance, Kemma MarShall calls North Carolina home. With family roots in the Appalachian hills, the stories of her ancestors fuel her creative soul. Growing up poor as one of nine children, Kemma writes from an authentic heart, painting with words to bring her characters to life. She knows what it feels like to be a young girl who’s unseen. Inspired by the love of a good man and a lasting marriage, and shaped by her years as a mother, she has spent her life as an artist and researcher, with a deep passion for history and bygone eras.

Kemma MarShall liked an answer from Kemma MarShall: Can you tell us a two-sentence horror story? There had been nothing on the plain white Formica countertop that morning, she said to herself—her voice echoing softly. But now, in the fading light of the day, a thick, rough rope lay as if it had a dark story woven into bloodstained fibers. Kemma MarShall
