Welcome! My name
is Marcia Mayo. I live in Atlanta, Georgia with my husband, Joe. We like spend out time with our families (we have 6 grandchildren between us!), going out to eat, and traveling. So far we have been to France, Spain, Peru, Canada, and Ireland. We have also been to quite a few US states on both the east and west coasts. And everywhere we go, including out to eat, history is happening all around us.
As a retired teacher, my mission is to help children understand that history happened to real people and it occurred right where they live now.
My book, Secret Stories from Peachtree Creek,
came about from my frustration with trying to help the second graders I
taught understand that history didn't just have to do with kings and
presidents and it wasn't always from long ago and far away.
The
book is a fictional account of the lives of six children, all living at
the exact same place. I like to say that "the story isn't real, but
the history is." And I made it a mystery to keep them reading.
