About Marcia

I love to read, for many years my passion has been science fantasy but recently I've discovered many fabulous Australian women authors and am devouring all the new genres I am being exposed to.

In addition to reading and reviewing books I enjoy photography, spending time with my husband, daughter, grandson, 2 dogs and a cat and am an aspiring author.
