Marian Hallett Griffin is a native New Yorker imported to Florida in the 1970s. The family moved to California then back to New York after her father passed away. After high school, she and her mother moved to Florida, not that Marian like hot sun, humidity or the beach. The University of Florida granted her a Bachelor of Science in Broadcasting, after extracting a pound or two of flesh, which got her to work in television production. The University of South Florida granted her a Master's degree in Library and Information Science after seven short years to complete a one year degree (due to a full-time job, a family, taking care of her mother and going to school).

Join her on a journey through contemporary, historical and paranormal romance featuring the men you want to meet and the women you want to be while living the life.
