Marie, a jack of many trades; is a fairly new face in the literary world, bursting onto the scene, ready and willing to share her stories. Since she was a young child, writing became a significant factor in her life, often her escape from the reality of the real world. As life's obstacles began to take their positions and the hurdles became harder to jump over, her love for writing slowly died. But at the tender age of 22, having been through many trials & tribulations in her young life, from abusive relationships, teen pregnancy, homelessness and prostitution to finding love, getting married and starting a family; Marie was inspired and picked up her pen again.

Writing a memoir like story with an urban fictional twist, Marie entitled the book "This Game Called Life". The title came from an expression Marie heard a lot while growing up "Life is like a card game, either you play the hand you were dealt or you fold". Immediately upon finishing the story and reading it over, Marie made the conscious decision to share her heartfelt tale and broadcast her refueled passion for writing to the world. She independently released her debut title on April 30th 2012, selling over a thousand copies and landing on few of Amazon's Best Seller's List in a short three month span. With the success of her book, Marie decided to submit her story to, G Street Chronicles, a major publishing house in Urban Literature. She signed a contract with them in July of 2012.

A decision was collectively made, to pull the book from its online retailers; "This Game Called Life" was revised and re-released on August 25th 2012. Due to irreconcilable differences, G Street Chronicles and Marie parted ways in December of 2012. Marie has since, started her own self -publishing company, "Game Changing Publications" and several other subdivisions under her own umbrella Game Changing Dynasty.
