A lifelong reader shaped by authors such as Guy Gavriel Kay, I write under the pen name Marian Land.
My work leans toward character-driven fantasy and supernatural fiction, with a strong emphasis on psychology, relationships, and slow-burn tension.
My projects range from Earthborn, an epic father-daughter high fantasy fifteen years in the making, to Bloodkin, a dark, atmospheric werewolf thriller-romance exploring instinct, identity, and impossible choices.
I'm drawn to subverting familiar tropes and building worlds where the emotional stakes cut just as deeply as the physical ones.
