Greetings!

My name is S. Marie. I am an artist of many mediums, including all varieties of paint, ceramics, and words. I am currently working on the sequel to my latest novel, The Moon and Her Sun. I plan to share all information concerning my works here first, so stay tuned!

How it all began.

From an early age, I was writing. To me, it was like breathing. Words poured out of me and onto the page, forming elaborate tales of adventure and peril.

But I never finished any.

Not one.

That is, until the idea for The Moon and Her Sun was born. It began as a poem. A poem written under a canopy of trees in the light of the spring sun for a man I had just begun seeing.

Over the next few years the poem blossomed into a novel. It became my therapy, my escape from the hardships and general monotony of life. And that man became my husband.

When I completed the novel, I gave it to him to read.

It had always been a dream of mine to publish a novel, to release a piece of myself in the form of a written work out into the world, but I was not actively pursuing it. At the time, I hardly believed I could. However, he persuaded me to pursue my dream and share The Moon and Her Sun.

So here we are.

As I continue to work on this series, I have found that this world has always been a part of me, whether in my daydreams, my paintings, or poetry.

Thank you so much for coming along this journey with me. I hope my world provides you a bit of escape and adventure as well.

Why Patreon?

There are a few reasons why I am shifting my focus to Patreon. The first being, I’d like to create a direct access to reach people, aside from the filter of Amazon and social media algorithms. Second, I want to foster a community. I want to talk with people and hear their thoughts about my work, whether written, painted, or sculpted. Though I am primarily focusing this channel on my written works, I will also share paintings and (in the future) ceramic work all pertaining to the world I have created. I want to share all of this with people who really want to be on this journey with me.
