edit data

M. L. Gardner is the bestselling author of the 1929 series. Gardner is frugal to a fault, preserving the old ways of living by canning, cooking from scratch, and woodworking. Nostalgic stories from her grandmother’s life during the Great Depression inspired Gardner to write the 1929 series—as well as her own research into the Roarin’ Twenties. She has authored nine books, three novellas, one book of short stories and a cookbook. Gardner is married with three kids and three cats.

M.L.’s Quotes

“And it's not that I'm a good writer. I found good characters. They tell me what to write, and thank God for that because otherwise I'd sit staring at a blank scene.”
