ABOUT

Marie Howalt grew up near Copenhagen in Denmark, Scandinavia and decided to become a writer at the age of 11 when the local library failed to deliver an acceptable amount of science fiction and fantasy.
Having graduated with a master’s degree in religion and English studies with a primary focus on speculative literature, Marie wrote as a hobby and worked as a teacher and a translator between English and Danish before changing lanes in life due to chronic illness (post concussion syndrome).
Nowadays, Marie writes as much as physically possible. The stories are hopeful and diverse and take place in the far future or other worlds.
When not writing (or bribing imaginary people to share their stories), Marie is dedicated to being a cat servant, but also enjoys reading/listening to audiobooks as well as drawing and collecting and restoring antique fountain pens.
Marie’s debut novel from Spaceboy Books, We Lost the Sky, came out in 2019. Since then, there has been a steady flow of a new book each year as well as the odd short story.
