Marianne G. Petrino

One of these days, I will get around to writing a proper bio. For the moment, all you need to know about me is that I was born in the Bronx and that created everything that I am.

My two novels, Coffee with Thunderbolts and A Star Rose in Cerami, are urban metaphysical novels, but you could also designate them as urban fantasy/paranormal or visionary fiction with a dash of chick and a side of boomer lit. My final novel, Silver Hooves in the Darkness, is a Young Adult Equine Fantasy (very genre busting).

My travel memoir, Full Tank & No Damage: Three on a Sicilian Odyssey, documents my trip to Sicily with my husband and my mother in 2010. The story appeals to everyone, but especially those of the boomer generation, who clearly can see the ending of the road and the meaning of life as a journey.

I am not formally following a writing or voice acting career at the moment (I closed down my business back in 2014 when I orginally left Good Reads). However, my books are available for free reading on Wattpad at:

I am back on Good Reads because I wanted to continue to participate in the Science Fiction Microstory Contest that began on Linkedin and is now on Good Reads. The contest is monthly and you can read my flash fiction entries there when I participate :)
