Bio: In the midnight hours of the day Marieke (pronounced Mah-ree-ka) is a storyteller, and all her stories – ranging from literary to fantasy – have a sprinkling of magic to them. Whether it’s dark contemporary, epic fantasy, or magic realism, she loves to write stories that bend the line between reality and imagination. Preferably in a dark and twisted kind of way, but always drowning in hope. She is a founding member of DiversifYA.com and YAMisfits.com, and has been a slush reader for several years."
