Marie Bostwick was born in Eugene, Oregon and raised in the northwest. She vividly remembers the day she got her very own library card. "I was about three years old and had just learned to write my first and last name, a skill which qualified me to become a library patron. I nagged my poor mother until she drove me downtown to get my card so I could check out my first book, Hop on Pop by Dr. Seuss."

In 1994, Marie wandered into a writers' workshop, and, at her instructor's urging, got serious about the craft that had always intrigued her while she married, finished her college education, raised three sons and worked in a variety of paid and volunteer jobs. She completed one short story a month for more than three years, still raising her family, taking seminary courses, working in professional ministry, and month by month teaching herself to write. Finally one of her short stories refused to stay short. It grew into Marie's first novel, Fields of Gold, published by Kensington Books in 2005. Her second novel, River's Edge is a September 2006 release.

Today, Marie lives and writes in Connecticut, where most of River's Edge is set, with her husband, Brad, and their sons.
