Introducing one heck of an interesting author!


Marvin D. Wilson is no ordinary author (but then, who is?) writing ordinary, run-of-the-mill type of books. Just the titles alone make one want to crack open the books.

Before we have a look at these books, however, lets learn a bit more about Marvin through his Bio.

Marvin D. Wilson is the author of three published books, I Romanced the Stone (Memoirs of a Recovering Hippie), Owen Fiddler, and Between the Storm and the Rainbow.

Owen Fiddler has been awarded the prestigious AVATAR award for excellence in spiritual books. Wilson has had articles published in several Ezines, and has been interviewed on hundreds of blogs, radio and TV shows, both over the internet and on the airwaves. A prolific blogger, his internationally popular blog, Free Spirit, was voted first place in the 2008 Book Blogger Appreciation Week award contest, in the Christian/Inspirational Fiction category. His other blog, Tie Dyed Tirades, is also growing in global popularity.

Wilson is a family man, married for thirty-three years, with three adult children and six grandchildren. He has been around the block of life several times, through the ups and downs, and has survived in good enough spirits to desire to write about life, to write about living life on purpose. Wilson is a self-described “non-religious, dogma-free, Maverick spiritualist Christian.” He writes books that deliver spiritual and inspirational messages in an engaging, thought provoking, often times humorous, more than often irreverent, sometimes sexy and even ribald way, through the spinning of an entertaining tale.

Marvin D Wilson is an editor with All Things That Matter Press, and also does freelance editing.

Although he has written 3 books, let's take a look at just one of them. Owen Fiddler, the book that won the AVATAR award. Here is a brief description.

Book Description:
(Sing along to the tune of the Beatles' "Nowhere Man")
Has a selfish point of view, why he's such a fool, no clue. Isn't he a bit like me and you?
Owen, man, please listen. You don't know what you're missing. Owen, man, your world is at your command!
He's no role model for you or your kids, but reading his story will learn ya a thing or two, and that's a fact. This is an entertaining, thought-provoking, humorous and spiritually insightful book which will surely have you thinking about your own life. Hey you – yeah, you! Do you like to dance? Don’t forget to pay the fiddler!

  1. Just dropped in to say "thanks!" for putting this feature together, Linda. Hey one thing, and I thought it was updated in our VBT files, my primary blog url is now http://theoldsilly.com - and the Tie Dyed Tirades blog is no longer. No biggie, but if you could edit the post that'd be cool. I'll drop back in later today and see if there are any comments to reply to. Have a great day!
