A Goodreads user asked Marian Allen:

What inspired You to be a writer? Tell me some more, about Your books? Best regards: A. Tomov – junior

Marian Allen I always loved stories. My mother read to me every night before I went to sleep, and my grandfather told me cautionary stories about why we should look both ways before crossing the street and so on. When my mother told me that anybody could write books, that books weren't artifacts from an earlier time, but were constantly being written and published, that was the only thing I wanted to do.

My books generally end up being about the nature of friendship and human connections, told in genre form: the SAGE books are fantasy, SIDESHOW IN THE CENTER RING is science fiction, I have a paranormal in edits, and a series of cozy mysteries waiting to be finished.
