Margaret Coel began as a historian, and became widely known as an expert on Arapaho Indians whom she has been studying and writing about for over 25 years. She researches her Arapaho books by going back to her source, the Wind River Reservation, every year, where, she says, she is always learning from her Arapaho friends. Most of her research on priests was done by talking to them and reading about them.

After earning her BA at Marquette University, she did graduate work at the University of Colorado and attended Oxford University. At first she worked as a reporter, but then went on to publish four non-fiction history books, followed by twenty novels in the Father John O'Malley & Vicky Holden series, as well as short stories. 

 

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”

“I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”

“When the Day of Judgment dawns and people, great and small, come marching in to receive their heavenly rewards, the Almighty will gaze upon the mere bookworms and say to Peter, “Look, these need no reward. We have nothing to give them. They have loved reading.”
