Marsheila Rockwell

Marsheila (Marcy) Rockwell was born an indeterminate number of years ago in America’s Last, Best Place. A descendant of kings, pilgrims, Ojibwe hunters and Red River Métis, and possibly a witch or two, she spent the first few years of her life frolicking gleefully in a large backyard that is now part of one of the nation’s largest Superfund sites. Perhaps that explains her early penchant for fantasy and horror – the first book she ever read (at the tender age of three) was Frank L. Baum’s Ozma of Oz.

Marcy sold her first short story in 1994 and her first novel in 2005, and she has been writing and publishing professionally ever since. She now lives in the desert in a home dubbed "Redwall" where she writes dark fiction and poetry, often with her writing partner and husband, Jeffrey J. Mariotte. Marcy is a citizen of the Manitoba Métis Federation.
