Marguerite Arotin has been writing since the third grade when she wrote her first story for a Halloween class project and loved the praise she got from it. She didn't pick up her first romance novel, however, until the age of nineteen when she met her husband who showed her that true love does exist.

With a keen intererst in local history, Marguerite began her trek to becoming a romance author by writing Ohio set historicals. She achieved publication with her Locktender's Daughter in May and loves the feedback she gets from fans and reviewers on her first published tale. A novella about a young woman who uses a gold dragon amulet to wish herself to 1962 so she can meet her childhood crush- a sexy rock star/spy was recently contracted by The Wild Rose Press entitled One Enchanted Summer, and will be published on June 25, 2008. A western contempo set in the fictional town of Wayback, Texas and entitled Return of the Prodigal Daugheter is currently in edit mode with The Wild Rose Press. She is currently working on a series of fantasy romances set beyond the Great Divide. Where and exactly what is the Great Divide? Well the divide itself is a portal to countless realms. There's a land of several different kingdoms beyond this divide and Marguerite's friend Daisy Kelli (site is still a work in progress while Daisy works on the history of the Veneficium Royal families) is the offical historian for this world. Currently she's working on the tale of how the first settlers from our ancient Rome formed the kingdom of magic, Veneficium. Marguertie handles the more modern Veneficium tales, like how a single mom got sucked beyond the Great Divide, fell in love with an ogre with the heart of a true warrior, and saved the kingdoms from an evil sorceress named Adieal

Marguerite has lived in the Cleveland, Ohio area her entire life and her love of local history is what led her to begin writing historical romances. Her canal romance, The Locktender's Daughter is now available from Wings Press in e-book format.

When she's not writing romances, she spends her free-time walking her son to school, picking her son up from school, and reminding him he has to do his homework before he plays video games ;-). For more info on Marguerite's wild imagination, visit her website
