Marieke Lexmond reads tarot cards and loves food, photography, and travel. She has two sassy little dogs that she likes to take everywhere and they even have their own Instagram account @urbandogsquad. Her background in filmmaking enabled her to travel and live around the globe. Storytelling is in her blood, from saving her allowance as a very young age to buy books to her master's degree from the Dutch Film Academy. Fantasy and science fiction are her favorite genres. She prefers to write fun and mystical stories. Her attraction to nature and places with a magical history brought her to New Orleans and the West Coast of Ireland. As a pagan, she felt an instant connection to the land; it feeds her imagination and has become the inspiration for the Madigan Chronicles. The Dagger (Madigan Chronicles #1) releases in Fall 2020, followed by The Magical Tarot Deck (Madigan Chronicles #2) in Late Spring 2021.
