Marcia has written stories all her life and wrote her first novel, Soul Search, in 1997. Her books are varied in their subjects, but consistent in their appeal. Marcia’s background is as wide and varied as her books. She was born in New Jersey, but raised in Houston, Texas. She has lived in New Mexico, New Orleans, Dallas, and Austin. She began her working career in the design drafting industry and spent many years designing everything from chemical piping to bakery equipment. She taught AutoCAD at several technical schools and supported herself many times by designing custom homes. After marrying her husband, she joined him in a landscape business in Houston, which she currently runs along with her husband of 8 years, Richard.With such a varied background Marcia has many experiences to use to create her stories. Even though most of her fiction has some element of fantasy in it, she bases the characters and circumstances around true events and people.
