Mari Christie

Mari was “raised up” in journalism (mostly raising her glass at the Denver Press Club bar) after the advent of the web press, but before the desktop computer. She has since plied her trade as a writer, editor, and designer across many different fields, and currently works as a technical writer and editor. Blind Tribute is her first mainstream historical novel. In 2018, she expects to release the first book in a new family saga, The Lion’s Club, set in turn-of-the-century Brooklyn.

Under the name Mari Christie, she has released a book-length epic poem, Saqil pa Q'equ'mal: Light in Darkness: Poetry of the Mayan Underworld, and under pen name Mariana Gabrielle, she has written several Regency romances, including the Sailing Home Series and La Déesse Noire: The Black Goddess.

She holds a BA in Writing, summa cum laude and With Distinction, from the University of Colorado Denver, and has been published in numerous magazines, newspapers, boardrooms, and creative collections. She is a member of the Speakeasy Scribes and the Historical Novel Society.
