About this author

I live in Tacoma, Washington, with my fiancé and our two cats. In addition to my slight obsession with books and writing, I'm big on road-tripping, wine-tasting, and hunting for antiques. I'm represented by Jill Grinberg.

CINDER, my debut novel, is a futuristic re-envisioning of Cinderella in which Cinder is a cyborg mechanic. Release date: 3 Jan 2012.


For the grand opening of thisblog, I’m spotlighting some of my favorite blog posts and moments from over the years throughout the month of June.

“Even in the Future the Story Begins with Once Upon a Time.”
Marissa Meyer, Cinder

“He was the fantasy of every girl in the country. He was so far out of realm, her world, that she should have stopped thinking about him the second the door had closed. Should stop thinking about him immediately. Should never think about him again, except maybe as a client - and her prince.
And yet, the memory of his fingers against her skin refused to fade.”
Marissa Meyer, Cinder

“I don't know. I don't actually remember anything from before the surgery."

His eyebrows rose, his blue eyes sucking in all the light of the room. "The cybernetic opetation?"

"No, the sex change."

The doctor's smile faltered.

"I'm joking.”
Marissa Meyer, Cinder

Thank you! I'm so glad to hear that!


Shelby I just finished your book (which I have been DESPERATLY wanting) and let me just say, it was worth the wait. It was one of the best books I have read in a while, and I loved the setting as much as the plot and characters. I don't know if I'll be able to wait until 2013 for the next book!

G. Donald Cribbs Marissa,

You forgot to post the reveal of The Lunar Chronicles # 5: Beauty (as in a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, my favorite fairy tale of all time!)

Please. Make it so!
