Marie's character is based on my Great Grandmother of 6 generations past, born in 1750. Her personality is inspired by the strong personalities of my wife Lily, my sisters, my mother, and my aunts. Marie is confident, poised, unafraid of risks, and sexy as hell.
In Book One, she is a young 20-year old woman when she meets her future husband, Jean-Baptiste. The two begin an exciting and dangerous life in the midst of rebellion.
In Book Two, Marie and Jean continue their love and business success as they enter reluctantly into the world of politics, wielding power derived from their business empire, as they meet the power brokers of the revolution.
Book Three begins with Marie, now an accomplished woman of 50 as she navigates her family through the invasion of the French, desperately trying, with her husband, to make it through with twists, turns, and surprises throughout.
In the upcoming Book Four (scheduled for release in October 2024), Marie continues to be a strong partner to her husband as she continues to be a confident to the King and Queen.
