The open skies and dense forests of the Pacific Northwest are ideal for growing speculative fiction authors–or, at least, Marina would like to think so. Originally from Oregon, she now resides in Arkansas with her spouse, Alex. In her spare time she enjoys globetrotting, board games, and all things art-related. Her original short fiction has appeared in venues such as Lightspeed, InterGalactic Medicine Show, and Shimmer Magazine. Her debut novel, NOUMENON, and its sequel, NOUMENON INFINITY are available from Harper Voyager. In addition, she has written tie-in materials for Star Citizen and the Aliens franchise.
