Ancient wars, 1920s heiresses, and so much more tickle her fancy.When she wasn't reading about the past, she was reading romances. Bodice rippers set in historical settings were perfect for Marina as a young woman, and she devoured them with gusto.Now that she's grown and living on her own, she spends her time writing the same stories she fell in love with in her early teens. If she isn't writing or reading, she's taking part in one of her hobbies. These include sewing, candle and soap making, and baking. Her German chocolate cakes are to die for.When writing her stories, she tries to remember what her mother used to say: "Marina, set your standards high, but remember that a poor man is just as likely to be your soul mate as a rich man." Marina makes a point to write about real men- with all their flaws, and with varying amounts of money in the bank.view less
