MARJORIE M. LIU

IN HER OWN WORDS

I was born around Philadelphia, spent my formative years around Seattle, and now reside in the midwest. I went to Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin, for my undergraduate studies, majoring in East Asian Languages and Cultures, with a minor in Biomedical Ethics. I then attended law school at the University of Wisconsin, graduated in 2003, and became an attorney. I loved law school. Did not like being a lawyer. Which is why I decided to become a writer.

I've studied and traveled extensively through Asia, and spent some time working at the US Embassy in Beijing. I love to read, I love to write, but what I love best of all is proving to myself that dreams do come true.

Oh, and I like poodles, too.

Marjorie is the author of The Dirk & Steele Series featuring Tiger Eye and Shadow Touch (releasing February 2006), and is a member of the Crimson City team which includes OOTB's own Liz Maverick. Marjorie's book A Taste of Crimson is a USA Today bestseller and a Romantic Times Top Pick.

Marjorie's current release, X-Men: Dark Mirror, returns Marjorie to her fangirl roots.
