Gayla Turner was born and raised in Southern California, and after thirty-five years, she quit a successful career in banking to pursue her passion for writing. Gayla spent years researching her grandma's life and the clues she left behind. Yes, clues. She left just enough information that only someone who understood her secret life would be able to uncover the hidden story she left behind. It's a story that Gayla is uniquely qualified to tell. As a debut author, Gayla has honed her writing skills with private instructors, editors, and critique groups of established writers in the Los Angeles area. She is a member of the Wisconsin Historical Society, Romance Writers of America, and the Historical Novel Society.
