Marianne Morea

Marianne Morea is a native New Yorker, and her stories embody the grit and complexity of the city that never sleeps. An avid traveler, she uses experiences from around the world in all her books. Her love affair with the paranormal is born of fantasies, transporting her into the world of what if...

Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romantic Suspense are the hallmarks of her writing style. A wicked sense of humor tempers the dark parts in stories where readers are thrust into a world of fantasy and love, humor and tears, darkness and redemption.

Favorite quotes.

...from Practical Magic:

"My darling girl, when are you going to realize that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage!" Aunt Frances, Practical Magic.

"Can love really travel back in time and heal a broken heart? Was it our joined hands that finally lifted Maria's curse? I'd like to think so. But there are some things I know for certain: always throw spilt salt over your left shoulder, keep rosemary by your garden gate, plant lavender for luck, and fall in love whenever you can."

...from Steel Magnolias:

Ouiser: "You are evil, and you must be destroyed."

Clairee: "Mother Nature's taking care of that faster than you could."

Truvy: "Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.
