Cambridge Who’s Who lifetime member Marcelle Lee Tomlinson is the author of A Precious Life: How I Survived Being Sexually Abused and Stalked. Ms. Tomlinson wrote A Precious Life as an autobiography and also as an educational medium. It tells the story of how good things can come out of tragic events and how Ms. Tomlinson emerged from a dire situation as a stronger, more self-reliant person.
Due to the level of turmoil and distraction caused by her parents’ divorce and her family’s domestic issues, nobody recognized her cries for help. With no one to turn to, she began abusing alcohol to numb her pain and sank into a deep depression. Then, at the age of thirteen years old, Ms. Tomlinson lost a very close friend to suicide, which caused her depression to spiral out of control. To make matters worse, another family friend who was twenty years her senior, subsequently molested, stalked and psychologically tormented her. He even went as far as driving her school bus so he could inject himself into her life as much as possible.
A Precious Life is centered on Ms. Tomlinson’s painful past and how she began the healing process. After many years of counseling and prayer, she feels that she is no longer a victim, but a survivor. With this book she hopes to educate parents about the signs and symptoms of abuse as well as the tactics that predators use to lure and control their targets. Readers will gain insight into the world of abuse and be better prepared to prevent it from happening to their loved ones or help those who are afflicted by it.
Ms. Tomlinson currently lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and three Labradors. She is a registered nurse with experience in oncology, critical care, behavioral health, nurse management and home health care. She received her nursing degree in 2001 and has completed coursework in psychology. Ms. Tomlinson speaks at seminars on child abuse and molestation; she is dedicated to informing parents about the tell-tale signs of abuse, so that their children will not have to endure the same trauma that she experienced.

Adora Mitchell Bayles, a self-published author of four novels, has been a Cambridge Who’s Who member since 2008. She demonstrated a strong affinity for writing since the age of twelve, took several writing courses and even sent out a few manuscripts, but put her passion on hold and worked as a graphic designer for 26 years. It was not until Ms. Bayles attended her 50-year high school reunion that she began to take her writing more seriously. Because her hometown combined 40 years of graduating classes to make up one single reunion, she had the opportunity to hear stories from her father’s classmates about his wild adventures as an adolescent. This inspired her to write her first novel, Wagon’s South!
Wagon’s South! is the tale of three adventurous American families moving from Oklahoma to Florida in search of a better life. Ms. Bayles conducted research for the novel by looking into her own family history, using courthouse records, census lists, and interviewing friends and relatives. Shortly after the publication of Wagons South! Ms. Bayles went on to write Children of a Dark Secret, the story of a woman who escapes an abusive relationship to start a new life. Golden Siblings, which is her third novel, was inspired by Kit Carson and John Fremont, two men who were believers in “Manifest Destiny” and had explored much of the West together. The novel reveals the emotional turmoil and racial prejudices of pre-Civil War America while exploring the value of independence and the irrepressible ties of family. Her latest novel, His Fiery Equal: Tale of a Catskinner’s Daughter, shares the experience of a strong, self-directed woman learning to thrive in a man’s world in the early 1900s.
In addition to her four novels, Ms. Bayles is also the author of several short stories and poems, some of which are award winning. She was raised in Florida and currently resides in Wilton, Connecticut. She enjoys spending time with her grandchildren, crocheting and painting.
