Marianne Blair is a South Carolina-based author whose storytelling blends suspense with a touch of the supernatural. She draws inspiration from the mysteries that linger at the edge of dreams and uses character-driven plots and evocative settings to bring her stories to life. When she isn't writing, Marianne enjoys gardening, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. She believes the most powerful stories are those that connect us across time, place, and imagination. The Brick Room is her debut novel.
