Hello! Nice to visit your blog, Mary!Ā I am an author of twenty-four books in various genres. Iām from a small town in the Midwest. I am a thirty-something woman and I hope to marry my fiancĆ© sometime this year. I love shopping, reading and writing!
Has writing always been part of your life and when did you āknowā that it was time to start writing your first book?Ā
Yes, Iāve been writing fiction in some capacity since I was nine years old. I think I always knew I wanted to be an author.
In college, I had two stories published in a university anthology. By 2010, I started the indie publishing journey, and in 2011, I submitted my first historicalā¦

Thursday Trilogies and More: Marie Lavender and Magick!
Posted by Marie Lavender
Get a sneak peek of my future lighthearted romantic fantasy, Magick Sunrise, book three of the Magick Series, here!
Hello and welcome to Living the Dream. Today, I would like to highlight one of my favorite authors, Marie Lavender. One of the most difficult things for an author to do is write a series of books. The key is keeping the reader hooked from one book to another. J.K. Rowling mastered this with her Harry Potter books and I believe Marie is on her way to doing the same. Read on to learn more!

Ethan Hamilton moves to a lazy little town in Oregon, hoping to escape his demons. But, instead he discovers a woman dancing nude in the moonlight. This woman who claims she is a witch dazzles him with her sensual presence. He thinks sheās crazy, but what if sheās not?

Paranormal Romance Review: Magick and Moonlight (Marie Lavender)
Posted by Marie Lavender
An awesome review for M&M! š
Belinda Y. Hughes: Writing, Editing & Social Media
If you liked Practical Magic with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, one-click Magick & Moonlight by Marie Lavender. Both Jessie and Ethan are hiding in small-town Oregon from something in the past. Can they resolve their mutual reservations about magick and learn to live ā and love ā again?
Small businesswoman Jessie was taught the ways of Wicca by her beloved late grandmother. While privately practicing the rituals of her faith in the forest, she is interrupted by a strange man. Is he worth the risk of her heart, her career and her life?
Ethan is a former cop laying low in a secluded cabin while seeking new direction in his life. Romance is the furthest thing from his mind when he chances upon a woman in the woods. Is their love real or is he simply spellbound?

Marie Lavender – Insights from Experience.
Posted by Marie Lavender
Welcome Marie and thanks very much for joining us on atime2write.
Q. You have over 19 books to your name, which is fantastic. When did you first publish your work? Was it self or traditionally published?
It was actually self-published at first. I published my first book in 2010. It was a literary fiction/poetry anthology titled Express CafĆ© and Other Ramblings. I went on to publish two subsequent literary fiction/poetry anthologies, all of which will be revised and re-released as Miss Lavenderās Anthology of Ramblings. So, look for that as a future release.
Q. So some of your work is traditionally published ā how did you manage to get picked up by a publisher or agent?
Though I tried self-publishing, I held onto one manuscript for dear life, reserving it for traditional publishing. In 2011, I began submitting the manuscript to literary agents and publishers. In August ofā¦

Guest Post: Author Marie Lavender
Posted by Marie Lavender
Find out about my journey and writing process here on Michael Aronovitz’ blog!
My Note: Marie Lavender is a phenomenal writer of romance fiction. She is the consummate professional, and I am quite fortunate to have made her acquaintance. I find romance and horror to be strangely similar actually, first by way of structure. The hiding of things, whether for the purpose of seduction or suspense, plays similarly. Also, the biggest motivation for both genres is love, as romance stories tease with what you canāt have and horror tales toy with what you are terrified to lose.
So Marie, I am proud to have you visit The Authorās Graveyard, and I would ask that you pick a plot. Put up a marker. Etch something into the stone! Ā Ā
