Fiction flirts with fact…very novelicious

A language arts teacher with a degree in Literature and a Masters in Education, you can find Marie glued to her laptop—spoiled pooch by her side—crafting her next novel. Blogging, drinking coffee, researching, and avoiding the treadmill are a few of her favorite activities. OK—shopping for shoes—is another. In the Merkabah series, cosmic mysteries meet ancient legends when an empathic professor and her rebellious mentor solve paranormal crimes. A sassy-smart-fun read, Books 1 & 2 of the 5-part series are now available on Amazon. Her current project, The Emperor’s Assassin, is a historical fiction set in Roman times. Marie invites authors, writers, and readers to her website www.lzmarieauthor.com where you can find her twice weekly blog; links & fun info; novel sneak peeks; fiction & academic writing resources; and lesson/activities for teachers.
