BIO
Biography

A passionate storyteller, Marie Gage is the author of emotionally rich historical fiction for adults and imaginative picture books for children. Her novels are inspired by real-life stories from her ancestors and the people she meets, bringing to life the resilience, romance, and quiet heroism of ordinary individuals in extraordinary times. Her Promise Series—including A Ring of Promises, Promise of the Bluebell Woods, and A Touch of Promise—offers deeply researched, character-driven tales that explore love, sacrifice, and the enduring strength of the human spirit across generations.

Marie’s children’s books are sparked by the everyday wonder of childhood. Whether it’s a boy who dreams of swinging through the trees with a monkey, a magical Christmas Eve encounter with Santa, or a gentle lesson about bees and the environment, her stories celebrate curiosity, kindness, and staying true to oneself. Titles like Blake’s Monkey Adventure, Luke’s Christmas Smile, Oliver and the Bee, and The Spirit Within reflect her belief in the power of imagination to inspire and empower young readers.
