Ever since she was a child, Marlena has been fascinated with monsters. As she’s gotten older, her definition of what makes a monster has evolved, but her love of them has only grown stronger. Now she’s lucky enough to be able to write about them.
Marlena’s work appears in a smattering of anthologies from The Sirens Call eZine to Heroic Fantasy Quarterly. Her stories lean toward weird horror, creature horror, and YA fantasy. When she isn’t thinking up strange tales, she is an active member in the Atlanta cosplay community.
