We're so glad you're with us today, Marj.
I grew up in northeast Ohio, on the shores of beautiful Lake Erie. I credit my mother for instilling in me a love of books; she's a voracious reader who spent many hours reading to me, taking me to the library, opening my imagination to new and beautiful worlds.
My love of the past lead me to earn a degree in History, which—let's face it—is the ultimate treasure trove of plot lines and character bios.
Unable to pick a single genre, my own stories range from historical to the paranormal; however, romance is always an underlying theme.
Married to my soulmate and raising a feline furball, I currently live one town over from the one in which I was born and raised.

Seven tears cried into the sea. Notes of a love song, to summon a selkie.
That is the myth, the yarn the old men spin in the glow of a warm fire on a dark winter night. Such stories are as common as the seals basking on the beaches of their northern Scottish isle.
Or so Moire believes. She could never quite identify with the forlorn lasses in those tales. She has everything she could possible need or want in the simple life she and her father have built on the quiet shores.
Until, learning she may be forced to marry a man she does not love, she sheds her own hopeless tears into the cold surf.
And the next day, a curious stranger walks out of those same waters. Everything about Innis calls to Moire; he is as wild and beautiful as her beloved sea. But there's something he's hiding.
Is he the salvation he appears to be? Or a danger to her soul?
With only seven days' time to decide, will she surrender to the irresistible pull of Innis and his sea or choose to remain on the safe shores of home?
These are dangerous days. Someone is killing off loyal daemons, stealing souls, and harnessing the power from them. Someone is out to destroy the Goddess of the Underworld.
Sokach is not about to let that happen, not to the Queen he’s fought to keep alive through the centuries. His devotion to her is elemental and absolute. Until Bluebell MacKaig. Blue’s got one thing on her mind—opening her pastry truck and making sure she can find a spot big enough to park The Sugar Bean.
Love is not on her menu. When Blue is thrust unexpectedly into Sokach's kitchen, she finds he's hiding more than a secret ingredient, and Sokach will have to choose between duty and savoring the sweet tooth he's developing for the feisty baker. To save his goddess, can he make his head resist where his heart wants to go?

Hi there! Thank you for sharing this!
Welcome to our gang Marj! Great post!!
Well, hello there! Glad to be here!
Oh, I think I will enjoy your book very much.
I certainly hope so! Though they're pretty different in style, both books were equally fun to write.
Thank you ALL for your time today! This blog is a really great resource for writers and readers alike!!! I hope you all have a fantastic Labor Day!
Loved the story premise of this one!
Good article and learned of a new to me author
Hi there! Thank you for being here! It's really nice to meet new peeps!
I love the concept of history woven into the paranormal. It is fast becoming my favorite genre to read. Thanks for sharing Marj and her story today. I'll be checking these out for sure. C.J. Baty author
Yay! I'm glad you're finding the genre interesting! History is so fascinating! It really does suck you in!
Welcome to you, Marj!!! Glad to have you here. The Sugar Bean was wonderful and I've not yet read The Summons...but I am getting closer to it in my TBR list!
Thank you for having me, Grace & the Gang! I'm excited to be here! And, thank you for reading The Sugar Bean! It was really fun to write. It was a bit of a tribute to my grandmother who was very important to me and was Croatian...hence the use of Morana the Cro Goddess of Winter & Death as a character :)
Love the concept of using old tales to form new stories! Interesting. Must have been nice growing up near the Lake too!
Hi Cindy! Thank you for being here! I love how History is the retelling of people's stories. There are so many characters and versions of characters and versions of what happened and why...I love it all.
And yes, the lake is wonderful! For a long time it was too polluted to enjoy (our area is also home to many nurseries and the fertilizer run-off is destructive!), but it's gotten better. I often post pictures of the lake on Facebook so check out my page if you want to see what it looks like! :)
Thank you for the Share!!! :)
I see I now have more books to add to my To Read List! They sound fascinating. I am a born and raise Buckeye. It's nice to see you here. Thank you for being a guest.
Great to have you and your books here Marj. Nice to know you like cats too. I have five, all feral/rescue felines.
Thanks! I'm thrilled to be here! OMG. CATS! I love 'em. I love the fact that you rescued your babies! Not many people show that level of kindness. People usually hear "feral" and they're not interested even though those often turn out to be the most grateful, loving animals.
Oh, and thank you for the Share!
Nice to have you on our blog Marj :) Your books sound fascinating!
Thank you, Erika! This is a first for me! You guys do such great work here...I hope I do this blog proud!
