About Mary Baidenmann

I started my storytelling career before my cousins and I graduated first grade. They were my first customers.

In the dark and dusty attic, I told scary stories that terrified my audience. I felt such power! (I was the only kid with a flashlight.)

My cousins came down with nightmares. Their mom called my mom. Thus, my first royalties came in the form of a time-out chair in the think-about-what-you’ve-done corner. I bailed myself out of jail with the promise never to tell those stories again. However, I landed right back in that corner uncountable times.

Oralee’s light is my tribute to my mother who, along with her siblings, experienced an extremely difficult childhood.

Now, The Sound of Supper brings you a pure fiction thriller. It has no connection to family or any actual place and was a joy to create.
