The family soon moved to the mountains of West Virginia, the childhood home of her mother, where Marie’s earliest memories began to be made. Her parents divorced when she was very young, and she and her two siblings remained in the care of her mother, who never remarried. During her early childhood, Marie was privileged to live in both Florida and West Virginia, due to job opportunities for the various members of the family. As a teenager, she was blessed to spend the most culturally-rich year of her life in Alexandria, Virginia, enjoying all of the historical sites and centers of Washington, D.C. Through various travels with her own employment positions, she also lived in Colorado, and later traveled through Montana, where she fell in love with the awesome beauty and power of the Rocky Mountains. Even though her employment opportunities brought her back East to West Virginia, where she now resides, her heart is still drawn to the wonderful characters who undoubtedly existed in the Rockies. When there, she found the spirits of the people of the plains, the mountains, the gold mining towns, and the frontier families to be very much alive. It is her belief that the characters in her stories may have existed at one time, and that she is just the instrument by which they can share their story with the reader.
Marie enjoys a marriage that includes five children and fourteen grandchildren, and, when not actively writing, she is currently employed as a medical transcriptionist, working from her home. She hopes to soon complete the third and final book in this series, and then move on to the next series.
Note: Marie has used her pen name, Honor Stone, on some past projects.view less
