M. L. Marty: Author
​
There’s a monster at the end of every book, the blank page. Well, I decided I wasn’t alright with that monster and set to defeating it. After escaping into the world that J.R.R.Tolkien, C.S.Lewis, J.K.Rowling, Lemony Snicket, and Agatha Christie made, I ended up making one of my own. Thank you to all of those authors for inspiring me to create my own story.
​
My books were born of a desire to escape grief and a feeling of helplessness, powerlessness in my own life. I used writing them as a way to push pause and come back when I wasn't so overwhelmed. Therefore, these books are dedicated to everyone who has ever felt alone, unheard, or trapped in their own mistakes and regrets.
Don’t ever give up hope and don’t ever let the pain dull your shine or entice you to stop loving, especially yourself.
If you are to be strong, you must love, for hatred is weakness in it's purest form.
He who never loved, never lived.
Love is like sand. You must hold it gently, for if you grip it too firmly it will slip through your fingers.
It is amazing what can be forgiven when done for love.
​
The opposite of love is not hate but indifference. Love me or hate me, I still control your thoughts, and therefore, your life.
