MARJORIE ECCLES was born in Yorkshire and has since spent some time on the Northumbrian coast; both locations have influenced her writing.  Her well-known Gill Mayo series was set in the Black Country and her two latest books, Killing A Unicorn and Echoes of Silence, were set in her native Yorkshire.  Altogether Marjorie has written mainly crime novels, but also some romantic fiction.  Outside of writing, Marjorie\'s enjoyment comes from reading, listening to music and gardening.
