Marie Davies is has been producing and writing for children's television for over fifteen years. Originally from the UK in 1999 she jumped on a plane and landed in Australia to celebrate the Millennium. Since then she's worked for Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, Network Ten and Granada Media. She's currently working for ABC3 as a Series Producer.
Marie has a huge passion for young adult fiction and story telling. She combines her spare with reading and writing YA. Marie has completed a first draft of a YA contemporary manuscript but has put this aside to work on a YA sci-fi romance idea.
Marie aspires to write characters that 'zing' off the page - like Anna and St Clair from "Anna & the French Kiss", Jace in "The Mortal Instruments" series and pretty much every character in Ally Carter's novels.
