PnPAuthors interviewed Marianne and
she was kind enough to answer the following questions for us.
Please tell us a little bit about yourself?
Please tell us a little bit about yourself?
I
live on Long Island, New York. I have been writing since high school but got
serious after my father died suddenly and I realized life is too short to put
off doing what you love. I am married. I have two sons and new grandson. I love
to go to Broadway shows. I love to horseback ride, whitewater raft, and garden.
I belong to the Melville Lions, a charity organization that helps our
community. Our focus is the sight impaired, but we donate our time and money to
all those who need our help worldwide.
What was the most difficult part of writing your book?
For
me it’s the editing and going over and over the manuscript. I always think I
have to go over it one more time, trying to reach perfection, and it’s hard to
let it go because I worry that I missed something.
What are you working on now?
I
just finished a love story set in 1940 France. The title is Behind the Mask. My
characters get involved with the French resistance. It’s fiction mixed with
experiences my mother and father went through living in France during WW2.
What blogs do you belong to and are they blogs that support you book.
I
don’t go to many blogs since most of my time is spent writing, researching or
visiting writer’s sites like this one and linkedin.
What is the address to your book?

When did you join PnPAuthor?
I
just joined in April, so I’m a bit of a newbie and still have to cruise the
different sections, but it looks great!
When did you write your first book?
About
1996. It was published in 2001
Tell a little about your book….
Well,
my heroine, Cyrenne, has pledged her life to the deity of the forest. She has
vowed to remain chaste and to live with her sister’s in arms. When her comrades
die in battle she blames herself for their deaths and vows not to return home
until she redeems herself. She sets out on a journey of redemption.
My
hero, Gareth, hates all deities. He has no use for a woman dedicated to those
he has set out to destroy. When Cyrenne saves his life, they set out on a
journey that takes them through uncharted mystical territories where love
teeters on the edge of danger.
