In all the years Marianne Scott worked in business, she never knew she had a flair for storytelling. Being tangled in the day-to-day challenges of meeting deadlines, dollar targets, and ever tighter delivery expectations left little time or energy for creativity. Yet at her core, she always felt something there. She didn't know how to name it, this yearning, that grew inside her with every passing year. At work, Marianne would jokingly threaten to write a "tell-all" about her colleagues, exposing the difficult personalities and the stressful foibles of the fast-paced manufacturing industry, but in fact, she found herself more interested in letting her imagination run with stories of conspiracy, forbidden affairs, corporate espionage and other sundry misdoings. Once she left the corporate world, instead of penning non-fiction tales, she gave herself over to her imagined worlds. Her truest pleasure, amusement, and release soon came from turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. From this, Finding Ruby Draker and Shadows in the Aftermath were born. See less
