Marie Secoy

About me:

Marie was born in Modesto, California September of 1981 and raised in Vancouver, Washington. She graduated from Prairie High School in Brush Prairie, Washington in June of 2000 and Everest College (formerly Western Business College) in Vancouver, Washington in January of 2006. She lives with her Grandmother and niece in Vancouver Washington. She was raised by her maternal grandparents and has four half sisters and three half brothers.

Marie is the author of Marissa Chronicles as well as Changing Lives, and Salem, and a ton of poetry. On the Writer's Cafe she is affectionately known as The Acrostic Queen and Mistress of Erotica.

Marie is a lover of animals and the outdoors (though she rarely goes out), and is addicted to computer games (The Sims 2) and the Internet. She also loves Rainbow Brite and Strawberry Shortcake (silly isn't it?) and her favorite Disney princesses are Ariel (The Little Mermaid) and Cinderella.

Marie loves spending time on the computer and helping her fellow writers out. She works part time as an editor, and the only payment she takes is a special thanks if the work is published and the gratitude of the person she has helped.

Recently, Marie began reading the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer. The story of a young woman who relocates to Forks, Washington after her mother remarries and meets a new kind of vampire in Edward Cullen and his family. The big screen adaption is set to hit theaters soon. Its one movie Marie cannot wait to see. Congrats to Stephenie for this huge milestone in her career.

Marie recently teamed up with her friend and sister Jessica Fox as a writing partner. Together they came up with the idea of the Dark Sister Series and created the Daughters of Darkness aka the Dark Daughters. The series features MacBeth's character Callisto Aritello (last name spelled wrong) and Marie's character Marissa Anderson.

Marie is currently working on the next installment of the Dark Sister Series as well as three new books.
