HI, I'M MARLYN!
I am a new adult contemporary romantic comedy author. That's mainly what this website is dedicated to. But also a few other things.
I am a singer, songwriter, wannabe graphic designer, and author.
To put it simply, I am an artist.
I have been singing since I could speak and writing since I could pick up a pen. Music has always been my go to, my escape, my soul. I love writing and listening to music, and singing. My whole life, all I ever wanted to do was sing. I wanted to be Hannah Montana. So much so that my dad used to call me Hannah Montana as a nickname. I attended a performing arts high school and studied music in college. Music is and has always been my life.
When I was 14, I discovered a love of writing stories, and now I have two passions.
I started my writing journey when I (like may others) discovered Wattpad for the first time. I read a few stories, fell in love with reading, made friends with some of the authors and became inspired to write. Number One Prize was the first story I ever wrote, it is my baby. It is a passion project I have gone back to multiple times over the past decade, it has grown and evolved as I have grown and evolved. When I needed an escape from life, I escaped into Number One Prize, into my writing. I have a total of five stories that are all interconnected in some way or another, not as a series per se, but they are all part of the same universe, the Marlyn literary universe (MLU).
I also dabble in design a little bit. I actually designed my own website logo as well as most of my tattoos. I bought an iPad in January of 2024, and I have been creating designs every day ever since. That being said, I really just dabble. That's why I contracted amazing local artist and dear friend, Colleen Hazelton, to create my book cover, and I am so excited for you guys to see it. To see more of her work, check out her website: madhareindustries.com
Again, in short, I am an artist. Music, literature, design...
I like to create beautiful things, and I want to share those beautiful things with you.
Thank you for being here.
