Author Biography
Marci Lynn McGuinness is a high-energy self publisher whose niche is preserving the remarkable and unique history of Southwestern Pennsylvania. Since 1981, she has written, released and promoted over 20 books. To research her popular 6-book Yesteryear series, she interviewed the culturally rich mountain region's eldest people, recording their memories. The pictorial books relay these stories and those of the thousands of vintage photographs she has collected. McGuinness' work has led her to uncover local history of national significance that no one else has published. Two of her books, Yesteryear at the Uniontown Speedway and Gone to Ohiopyle are incredible, exciting true stories bursting to be on the big screen. From George Washington to Vivian Prescot, Barney Oldfield, Henry Ford and Frank Lloyd Wright, McGuinness has discovered untold tales. The author/publisher is the mother of grown twin daughters and lives with her wily Jack Russell Terrier in the Allegheny mountain region close to Ohiopyle State Park and Fallingwater. George Titlow's beloved Titlow Hotel is one of her favorite stomping grounds. A member of the New York Center for Independent Publishing, the author lives her work, promoting through television, radio, events, print, web and her quarterly magazine, Around Ohiopyle. McGuinness strives to share history's incredible stories. E Mail: marci@ohiopyle.info Web: www.ohiopyle.info, www.uniontownspeedway.com
