I am a widow with two adult children and three grandchildren.
 I'm a retired social worker who began writing late in life.  My
first novel, Step By Step, was published in 1995.  I have
published six other novels..  A
ll of these novels are out of
print from the original publisher.  I'm happy to report that
they have been reprinted by iUniverse.


The new covers as well as excerpts can be viewed on this
website by clicking the appropriate link to the left.


 These novels are available from iUniverse at
backinprint.com
, Amazon.com and Barnes&Noble.com. You
may also arrange to purchase these novels directly from me.

In addition to writing, I enjoy interacting with other authors
and readers by conducting workshops, public speaking and
participating in panel discussions.  I am a member of two
fraternal orders, The Order Of the Eastern Star and The
Order of Cyrene.  I also serve on the Board of the
Philadelphia Writers Conference.

I love hearing from readers and you may contact me via
email at mtyner1@juno.com.
Sample Reviews

"Ms. Tyner gifts readers with a writing style that combines passion and
intrigue.  In
One Heartbeat At A Time she also updates readers on the
progress of characters from previous books."  
Romantic Times Magazine

"Everything To Gain has an old-fashioned down-to- earth feel, but don't be
fooled.  Ms. Tyner also writes in some seriously steamy love scenes. This
book is a rare gem that one doesn't expect by its seemingly tame storyline
and makes for a great reading experience."  
Romance In Color  

"
In False Impressions Ms. Tyner has written a classic romance with all the
best elements of a keeper; an exciting plot, genuine characters, suspense
and, of course, romance."  
Romantic Times     

"The skill and mastery of the romance genre comes when someone like Ms.
Tyner brings a fresh perspective and new treatment to an old favorite.

participating in the Romance Slam Jam in April 2011 where I will be
conducting a workshop on characterizations .  For more information
