Marylou Hess official website

Marylou I. Hess, writer - official website.

This website, like all of my writing, is dedicated to my beloved father,
John Landis Hess, Sr. (1905 - 1984).

Marylou Hess is a Florida writer, who has published articles on the
Gasparilla invasion and social issues.

Fiction

Discount Departures, a humorous coming-of-age novel, set in Gulfport
Florida, received 2nd Place in the 2003 Royal Palm Awards for
unpublished humor.

Her short stories and unpublished novels, written with a dark sense of
humor, intertwine Florida's most exquisite and exotic flowers and trees,
the sultry weather, and Floridians penchant for the macabre, as the
protagonists fight the cold-hearted crimes of the Sunshine State.
