About the Author
Marnie Cate is a writer of coming of age and urban fantasy novels.
Born in an Irish mining town in Montana, she always had a flair for
the dramatic and a vivid imagination, and spent her childhood lost in
the elaborate worlds she created with the help of her dolls.
One day, Marnie Cate was struck by a powerful image in her
mind. This seed created the world of Starten and the complicated
world of goddesses and their touch on the mortal world.
Inspired by the actress Dame Judi Dench, she pursued her dream
of sharing the stories that were brewing in her mind. With the urging
of friends and family, she wrote in every spare moment she had.
After countless weekends spent at the local coffee shop, typing
away and people watching, Marnie finished her first novel, Remember: Protectors of the Elemental Magic.
With the world of elemental magic and the humans they lived in released, the stories have just begun.
