M.L. (MaryLu) Tyndall writes historical romances packed with adventure and strong spiritual themes. Her passion is to write stories that not only entertain but expose Christians to their full potential in Christ. MaryLu holds a degree in math and worked as a software engineer for fifteen years before testing the waters as a writer. Her love of history and the sea drew her to create her first trilogy, The Legacy of the King's Pirates. A Christy Award nominee, MaryLu is a member of CAN (Christian Author's Network), RWA (Romance Writers of America), and ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers). She has published five historical romances with Barbour Publishing and is currently working on her seventh novel.

MaryLu makes her home with her husband, six children, and four cats on the California coast, where her imagination still surges with the sea.
