Marjorie is a California writer and UCLA Theater graduate whose career began in the heart of the film industry. She worked in film production and location casting on dozens of films, including Misery, Paul Thomas Anderson’s Hard Eight, and Showgirls. Transitioning from the studio to the classroom, she became a credentialed English teacher, serving secondary students in East Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley.
Seeking a creative outlet to balance the demands of lesson planning, Marjorie turned to fiction. She is the author of three novels: The Demon Rift, a horror story set on Christmas Eve 2004 where mallrats must defend the universe from a demonic invasion; Babylon Dreams, a science fiction exploration of a virtual reality "after-death" where buried memories dictate the truth; and its sequel, The Dark Side of Dreams, which sees that VR paradise transform into a hell-scape preying on the 23rd century. Her non-fiction work on the nature of dreams, including "To Sleep, Perchance to Dream" and "Why We Believe Dreams are so Real While We’re Dreaming," has been featured in HuffPost.
