Marianne's interest in writing began when she read an excruciatingly boring book with one-dimensional characters and was inspired to write a better novel than the published author. Her goal is to publish a series of "Marianne's Little Mysteries" which offer stories told from the viewpoint of the murderer with a Christmas theme.
Marianne's first novel, "Have Yourself A Merry Little Murder" details a Realtor who chases love and success with a vengeance, including murder and bribery, to make up for a traumatic event in her teenage years.
Her second novel, "Have Yourself A Merry Little Secret" tells the story of an incumbent Senator running for re-election against his ex-wife.
