Marilyn Brant

Marilyn Brant has been told she writes with honesty, liveliness and wit (descriptors she's grown terribly fond of) about complex, intelligent women--like her friends--and their significant personal relationships. Although her favorite pursuits undoubtedly involve books, she proves she's not just a literary snob by confessing her lifelong fascination (read: obsession) with popular music, especially from the '70s & '80s, most flavors of ice cream and a variety of sensuous body lotions/oils. Marilyn is the award-winning women's fiction author of ACCORDING TO JANE (October 2009), FRIDAY MORNINGS AT NINE (October 2010) and A SUMMER IN EUROPE (December 2011), all from Kensington Books. Marilyn has traveled to 45 states and over 30 countries (so far--she's not done yet!), but she now lives in the Chicago suburbs with her family. When she isn't rereading Jane's books or enjoying the latest releases by her writer friends, she's working on her next novel, eating chocolate indiscriminately and hiding from the laundry.
