Marie Harbon
Marie Harbon has worked in both the retail and fitness industry. She has
a degree in sport and fitness and taught group exercise for several
years, delivering aerobics and Pilates classes. For two years, she
delivered BTEC Sport courses and has also instructed dance and sport
with children.
She wrote her first novel length story at the age
of twelve, which in retrospective was an early prototype of 'Lost', in
that her secondary school class were shipwrecked on an island and had to
contend with giant rabbits and aliens. Since then, she has written on
and off, evolving her style and literary maturity.
Marie is a
member of the Nottingham Writers Studio and New Writers UK. Her future
plans include not only continuing with the 'Seven Point Eight' series,
but involve writing YA, children's and adult books, short stories,
novellas and scripts.
Aside from writing, Marie has two children
and lives with her son, four guitars, and reams of fabric in the town of
Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, which is in England. She is a self-confessed
fabric geek and purveyor of beautiful, often ostentatious bags,
bustiers and clothes.
