Hello!

My name is Marian.

I like books, trees, and a good pee-your-pants laugh.

I’m a comedian-turned-novelist writing stories about friendship, motherhood, love, and all the messy in-between. If you’re into honest, funny, slightly unhinged storytelling—you’re in the right place.

I’ve had a wild ride of a life and have no problem MENTIONING it ALL (if you get that reference, we’re already BFFs).

Kassie Evashevski reached out to represent the book. Her team at Anonymous Content are working hard putting together a movie package deal. This was always a movie in my mind. Picture it in your Netflix que. It’s coming!!

Twin Flames is a suspenseful ride about a dating show editor who teams up with a scorned contestant to kidnap her misogynistic boss.

Why I’m qualified to write this…

- I won MTV’s Next. Took the money.

- I was on Millionaire Matchmaker—Patti called me the next -Tina Fey - she overshot, but still . . .

- My husband started editing The Bachelor after I wrote this book… magic or coincidence.

- Oh and, duh, I love trashy TV and fully commit to the chaos.
