As a young woman, Marguerite Quantaine shook off the shade of small town Michigan for the bright lights of New York City, when the male dominated media concentrated on female stereotypes to establish lifestyle profiles that neither represented her, nor anyone she knew. Intent on giving women their rightful voice, she has written an historically accurate novel as witnessed from the sidelines by those coming of age in New York City during the 1960’s and 70’s. Inspired by extraordinary true stories, it connects the concurrence encounters of strangers to two women whose destiny seems sealed by love at first sight. It’s an exciting premise executed spectacularly.

Fae Rowen discovered the romance genre after years as a science fiction freak. Writing futuristics and medieval paranormals, she jokes that she can live anywhere but the present. As a mathematician, she knows life’s a lot more fun when you get to define your world and its rules then watch what happens. Punished, oh-no, that’s published as a co-author of a math textbook, she yearns to hear personal stories about finding love from those who read her fiction books, rather than horrors of calculus lessons gone wrong. She is grateful for good friends who remind her to do the practical things in life like grocery shop, show up at the airport for a flight and pay bills. Fae Rowen began writing after reading her favorite author’s entire backlist in three weeks and couldn’t bear the thought of waiting nine months for the next book. A “hard” scientist who avoided writing classes like the plague, she now enjoys sharing her brain with characters who demand that their stories be told. Amazing, gifted critique partners keep her on the straight and narrow. Feedback from readers keeps her fingers on the keyboard. Fae is busy writing P.R.I.S.M. Book Two, which will be available in Spring 2018.
