Marilyn Bay

Marilyn Bay grew up on a sheep and crop farm in northern Colorado, and a decade ago moved back to the family farm from where she writes historical fiction and non-fiction. Her published books include “Prairie Grace” and “Prairie Truth,” both set in Colorado in the 1800s. By writing highly-researched fiction about areas and events that experienced cultural clashes, she aims to provide hope and understanding to address today’s divisiveness. Her non-fiction title “All We Like Sheep – Lessons from the Sheepfold,” is co-authored with her mother Mildred Nelson Bay. It features stories from the duo’s collective eight decades of raising sheep and is written in a devotional format.

She lived in Costa Rica for six months and in Taiwan for five years and speaks Spanish and some Mandarin. She is a 4-H leader and judges local horse shows.
