Marie HallCatch Mariehttps: //linktr.ee/mariehallauthor PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW @ MarieHallWriting.comMarie is a romantic with an imagination. A historian with a flare for the dramatic. She uses these skills to craft captivating Contemporary and Historical Romane, with a touch of truth and enough angst to fill the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Because of her love for the written word, she spends her days (and a lot of nights too) creating characters in setting and situations the reader will hopefully love and believe in.As a USA Today Bestselling author who has somehow managed to hit bestsellers on Amazon multiple times and the international bestseller category (just once) She takes craft seriously. Unafraid to be judged by her peers she has put her work before judges from Romance Writers of America, winning the Aspen Gold from Hearts of Denver Chapter and The Beverly From Colorado Romance Writers Chapter, placing in two other RWA contests. Marie feels a deep obligated to craft the best stories possible. Some label her work "erotic romance". However, Marie say, She writes ROMANCE, with a little something more and is trying to bring back the bodice rippers from the classical romance decades. Romance, not 'erotic' is her focus. With heroes who are far from perfect and heroines who are headstrong and independent, but love and commitment is always the goal. Happy Ever After has to be earned but when done there is little doubt those characters have obtained true love.Writing erotic romance, Marie focuses on the complex dynamics of a dominate/submissive relationship and those who consent to live within this structure. Love and respect are always the main theme and focus. The characters she writes grow and develop with each other and because of each other. ROMANCE first, then kink.Abuse is NEVER right, deserved or allowed. If you believe you or a loved one maybe in an abusive relationship please contact the National Abuse Hotline right away. SAFE SANE CONSENSUAL is the ONLY way to live.Residing in beautiful Western Colorado, between The Black Canyon and Ouray, allows her to draw inspiration for her stories. Prior service in the Armed Services and degree in history allows her to pull in aspects from all over the world. Places she's visited, people she's encountered, things she's researched, all give life to her writing.When writing historical Marie uses her degree in history to add facts about the time periods she writes and blogs about those facts from time to time. You can find those blogs, other topics and her newsletter at the website http: //www.mariehallwriting.com. Recently, she has embarked on a new venture, leaving traditional publishing after ten years and stepping out into self publishing. Little Dog Press is how she is embracing independence and creative freedom. When she is not writing, publishing or blogging (or messing around on social media) she spends time with family, her husband of more than thirty years and her adult daughter. Mostly, though, with her little four legged fur-child, Tuck. They spend time enjoying the contrasting landscape of Western Colorado. With high reaching, jagged peaks and soft sloping valleys it is the perfect setting to sit back and think up stories to tell.Please take the time to enjoy a book. Books open doors in life, takes you to places or times you may never have known and lift your spirit.Be Safe, And as always READ ON Read More Read Less
