Marni L. B. Troop has been writing since she can remember, having been published regularly in her junior and high school literary arts magazines and newspapers. After earning a B.A. in English from Jacksonville University in Florida, she moved to Los Angeles, where she was a screenwriter, freelance ghostwriter, script and novel editor, and story analyst for nearly 15 years (as well as just about any other film/tv production job she could find). In 1997, after earning a Master of Professional Writing from the University of Southern California, she became a college professor, teaching English and writing courses. She moved to Glendale, Arizona in the spring of 2006 with her husband, first child, and six pets, where she continued to teach (and still does), had another child, and turned her writing attention to novels.
When Marni was in college, she had the opportunity to visit Ireland. Having fallen in love with the country, its people and its mythology, she has spent the better part of twenty years researching Irish Celtic history and folklore. This series of six (or seven) books will be the fruit of her labor, a means of bringing the rich history of the Irish Faeries to a new generation of readers. In January 2010, she completed Tir Na n’Og: Journal One, which is self-published and is available through any book store and as a download.
She is currently working on the second novel – Journal Two – that concerns the arrival of Patrick (and Christianity) to Ireland and his effect on the stability of Tir Na n’Og.
On this journey, Marni has collected a soul-mate for a spouse, two brilliant and beautiful children, two crazy dogs and four particular cats… not to mention a small band of loyal, amazing friends.
