Marilyn Grunwald is a pen-toting wheelchair-wielding 70-year-old who is currently writing FiSH aND cHIPS Wrapped in Fivers, about crime in Dundee. Scotland. Her memoir of growing up in Scotland with a disability "Tales from my Yellow Room" is available here on Amazon in paperback or Kindle. Writer is not the only job title Marilyn Grunwald has had in her 70 years. Whether in her second home in Los Angeles County, New York, London, or Edinburgh she has tried nearly every profession that interested her. In fact, her first book is a closure of a circle that began as a precocious seven-year-old when she first attempted playwriting. Her family deemed her efforts "poor" because all her characters were always eating. Now she realizes that was because mealtime was the only time everyone spoke. This revelation joined many others, totally hidden from her, until she wrote Tales from my Yellow Room. Since her days as a Girl Scout in Scotland, Marilyn Grunwald has always given back to her community. She received the first of many community awards for running the snack bar at Buckhaven Technical College's Friday Night Hop in 1968. Her many years of political activism began in the East San Fernando Valley community of Los Angerlrd with the Stop the Recall campaign, mounted to thwart a gun-lobby recall effort against Hon. David Roberti. At that time parents throughout the state were reeling from the shock of the Stockton school yard shooting. Marilyn and her husband, David, were concerned for their daughter, Maria. A past secretary/treasurer of the Southern California Chapter of the National Writers Union, Marilyn's writing always includes people of different ethnicities and various disabilities. None more so than FiSH AnD ChIPS Wrapped in Fivers, due in 2024. Marilyn Grunwald lives in Santa Clarita, CA with her daughter, who is a public school teacher. Maria and her husband have four children between them.
