Marianne Spitzer

I was born in Wisconsin and lived there until I was eighteen. Then I spent eight years in Washington state and California before returning to Wisconsin. I love eerie places and books. I began with a love of Nancy Drew books and as I grew I found H.P Lovecraft, Poe, Agatha Christie, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle among others. When I am not writing, I am reading or watching sunsets. I enjoy making up stories about people I meet or see on the street. I can see a story in a picture, especially if the picture is eerie. My imagination runs wild and free.

I love reading Historical fiction which began my love of writing mail-order bride stories. I also love cozy mysteries and the Annie Ryan cozy series was born. I wrote one thriller and am working on a second. My longest series, Kellie Conley mysteries, will continue as long as readers ask for more.

I am blessed to be able to write when I want and take the time to read and spend time with friends and family.
