Literacy is a cause about which Marianne is passionate. She is the author of Literacy is a Family Affair and Let's Play Literacy, as well as many other books and research projects that deal with the importance of reading. Marianne is a member of The Writers' Union of Canada and the Canadian Authors Association.
Marianne's house is full of stories half-done and underway - her husband, Bob, is also a writer. Their daughter, Samantha, is a choreographer and dance teacher, and adds a layer of music and movement to the mix. Marianne grew up in Brockville, Ontario. Her father provided for the family of five children by working in a factory. His strong work ethic shaped Marianne's approach to writing. Her mother inspired her love of reading and her affection for words and the imagination.
