About me

Marilyn Archibald


I'm a mom who lives and writes on the north shore of Massachusetts. I've got a pretty incredible husband and three amazing grown kids.  I write a monthly column for the Newburyport Daily News and my work has appeared in the Gloucester Times, Lowell Sun, Cape Ann magazine and (once!) the Boston Globe.  I believe cake should be its own food group.  I write about frappes far too often.  My social media addiction of choice is Twitter (toastcat4618), where I identify as a cat who has run for president twice--and lost both times.
