About Marianne Hovde
Welcome to my world of wonder, where dreams take flight and the heart finds solace in the stars. I'm Marianne Hovde, a Brisbane-based author, and I'm delighted to share my journey with you.
A Lifelong Love for
Sci-Fi and Fantasy
The awe-inspiring stories of Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, the Back to the Future trilogy, and the enchanting magic of Disney movies ignited my passion for sci-fi and fantasy at a young age. These stories whisked me away to distant galaxies, enchanted realms, and thrilling adventures, allowing my imagination to soar.
As I grew older, my love for these genres only deepened. I eagerly devoured every book, movie, and TV show I could find that offered an escape into the fantastic and the otherworldly. Along the way, I discovered the power of stories to entertain, educate, and inspire – and I knew I wanted to be a part of that magic.
Creating Clean Sci-Fi Romance
As an author, my mission is to create clean sci-fi romance stories that blend the excitement and wonder of science fiction with heart-warming romance. I believe that the most powerful stories are those that capture the imagination, evoke emotion, and leave readers with a sense of hope and joy.
In my writing, I strive to create vivid worlds and interesting characters who face challenges, grow, and ultimately find love and happiness amidst the stars. My stories are designed to be both entertaining and uplifting, providing an escape from reality and a reminder of the beauty and resilience of the human spirit.
My Personal Journey
I was born and raised in the picturesque coastal town of Ålesund, Norway, where the rugged beauty of the landscape and the rich cultural heritage nurtured my love for storytelling. In 2007, I moved to Australia to be with my husband, Roger, and together we have built a beautiful life with our three children and two dogs.
Aside from my passion for writing, I am a certified dog trainer, and I cherish the time spent working with our canine companions. Our family loves exploring the natural beauty of Brisbane and the surrounding areas, making memories and finding inspiration in the world around us.
My Journey as an Author
Becoming a published author has been an incredible journey, filled with triumphs and challenges, learning experiences, and cherished connections with fellow authors and readers. I'm grateful for the support of my family, friends, and the writing community, who have encouraged me every step of the way.
Thank you for joining me on this adventure. I hope you'll find joy and inspiration in the stories I create, and that together, we can continue to explore the boundless universe of the imagination.
