About the Author


Elizabeth D. Marie
Author and Artist
clean no-spice fantasy fiction

I discovered the love of written worlds at a young age through Narnia (The Chronicles of Narnia), which helped shape my imagination and draw me closer to the Master Storyteller and Creator. Soon enough, I began writing stories of my own, from time-travel fantasy (WEB OF TIME) to fairytale retellings (CROWN OF STARS) to portal fantasy (IN TIME AND MEMORY) -- I've also published short stories in magazines and anthologies, including exploring other genres like science fiction, dystopian, and contemporary. Whatever genre I'm diving into, don't be surprised if a little fairytale theme sneaks its way inside! Beauty and the Beast is my all-time favorite, and so far I've published three novels that are retellings, with more ideas relentlessly trying to distract me from finishing my other projects. Through all my literary adventures, my heart is to provide clean and epic fiction for teens and also for adults to enjoy. I believe in the power of stories; in the truths they are meant to remind us of: that there is an unseen battle taking place, and we are a part of that battle. As is said in SAVING BEAUTY, I encourage all my readers to "keep the lanterns burning against the night, hold the darkness at bay."

You'll find sweet and swoony moments in my romances, but no spice. There is no strong language, or promotions of poor morals and unhealthy lifestyles. You'll find plenty of magical elements in my fantasy, but no celebrations of witchcraft or sorcery.

I primarily write and publish now via my Patreon Page. For weekly updates and cover reveals, you can become a free member, and for as little as $1 a month, you can start unlocking bonus features like my current stories, and access to the Loyalty Library where you can redeem paperbacks and hardcovers of my latest releases (many available exclusively through Patreon). Current physical perks are USA only, but if you are beyond the States, please reach out and express your interest -- because I am dedicated to working out ways to get these perks to you if it is at all possible!

Upgrades, holidays, and a submission to my first anthology...

I have exciting news to share!! Last newsletter, I shared how I was inspired to write a prequel to my portal fantasy series IN TIME AND MEMORY . I hinted that publishing plans were in the works, and now the wait is over and I can share those plans with you! I've been writing stories since I was eight years old; I didn't write anything down until years later, and that's when I started seriously thinking about writing and publishing a book. I knew early on I wanted to self publish; I've never gone with traditional publishing. But anthologies are cool - and something I really wanted to be a part of, if I could just know about them soon enough to write and submit something! And I finally got that chance with The Order of the Pen Press, who opened submissions for a 'ships' themed anthology. So I have been busy writing and finishing THE PRINCESS FROM THE SEA to submit. Today I found out that myself, along with 9 other authors, have been accepted into that anthology ...

Character art, portal fantasies, and an anthology cover reveal...

Today is the cover reveal for the Sailing Magic anthology!  My prequel story to my portal fantasy series on Patreon is part of this anthology, titled THE PRINCESS FROM THE SEA. It tells of the 'legendary romance' between a mermaid and a king of the earth, which is spoken of in the main series. For years, the three kingdoms of Aereth have been enemies - the dragon riders of the skies, the warriors of the earth, and the guardian waterway keepers of the sea. King Tremaine seeks to bring peace, but can the guardians of the sea put aside past grievances? And when an enemy from within threatens to undo everything, it will take courage and sacrifice to make things right. This story, along with nine other fantastical tales including 'ships', releases May 10, and can be preordered at: www.TheOrderofthePenPress.com . I adore Tremaine and Brina, and I'm so happy to get to share their story in this anthology! And a reminder, the first TWO episodes of the main series IN TIME AN...

Forest treks, and reinventing the merfolk in my upcoming portal fantasy series...

Whenever I'm asked the question, which fictional world would I want to live in, I always choose Narnia without hesitation. Who doesn't want to find a magical land of talking beasts and epic destinies hidden in their wardrobe...err, closet? For years, I have wanted to write my own portal-style fantasy, and now I'm ready for you to meet that world in my upcoming series IN TIME AND MEMORY . I've been building that world for some time now - with its three kingdoms of water, earth, and sky, and the people who belong to it as empathy effectors, time trekkers, and memory mappers. And of course, there will be dragons and merfolk! Not your typical merfolk, however. The people of the water kingdom (the empathy effectors) are fully human, with the ability to manipulate water into many forms (as water weavers). Their kingdom was the first that I explored, as one of my favorite male main characters, Kelsea, belongs to this world. What makes them especially important to this series ...
