Here are some photos of my life:


   
Marliss was pleased to meet this reader, Rebecca, who drove up from Virginia Beach to Williamsburg for an event called “Romance Writers Reveal All.” Rebecca’s favorite book is DON’T LET GO. (Special thanks to Kelly who came all the way from Washington DC. I wish I’d thought to take our picture, also!)

Marliss grins at the camera with a fellow writer, Denise Jeffries.

Marliss enjoying the company of her loyal proofreader and good friend Don Klein, who drove all the way from Minnesota to visit.

Marliss embraces Patsy “Maria” Dietz, widow of Navy SEAL Danny Dietz (see heroes page).

Here is Marliss with Laura McGreevy, who raises money each year for a scholarship in her late husband’s name. The Michael McGreevy Scholarship is used to help promising young people attain their dreams of bettering this world the way Michael did.
   

Marliss and Sydney Croft (aka Larissa Ione) enjoy a book signing at the Barnes & Noble in Newport News, VA.

Marliss was pleased to meet the managers of Temptation, The Romance Bookstore who flew all the way from Perth Australia to attend the Romantic Times Conference in Pittsburg, 2008.
   

Marliss at Book ’Em Literacy Event in Waynesboro, VA 10/17/09 lecturing on using the Myers-Briggs Personality Types for Characterization. Marliss is available to writer’s groups as a guest speaker/workshop leader.

Marliss with a new reader, Nolyn, whom I met at a Halloween party, 10/31/09
This is my husband, Alan, who inspired the character Solomon McGuire, even though he's bald like Sean. Both Solomon and Alan are ENTJs. You gotta love a man who can run a half-iron man triathalon and feel great when it's over.
