Kirsten Marion completed undergraduate studies in English and Classics and a postgraduate degree in psychology, which helps inform the voices and motivations of her characters. After decades spent travelling the world and has lived on three continents, she has a unique mix of experiences to color her imaginary worlds.

Lucy & Dee has been percolating for many years now and draws inspiration from stories and her beloved children and grandchildren. Her fans describe her writing as "detailed and vivid," "creative, innovative" and "bursting with magic and humor" that leave them in "awe of the author's imagination."

The Prairies Book Review raves,"Marion's prose is crisp, and her swift narrative deftly reveals a tapestry of magic and intrigue. The plotting is tight, with plenty of tiny details meticulously rendered, big twists that take readers by surprise, and emotional power drawn from character growth."

She currently lives in Victoria, Canada. Visit Kirsten at kirstenmarion.com, on Instagram @kirstenlmarion, or on twitter @kirsten_marion.
