Marian Rizzo fell captive to the world of books when she was five years old and her older sister pulled her on a sled in snowy East Rochester, New York, for winter trips to the town library, which in those days was set up in an old house. Marian still remembers the musty but inviting smell of the dog-eared books that drew her into the many enchanting stories. But, Marian wasn't satisfied with merely reading a book. When she was in the first grade, a teacher's volunteer caught her writing a story during class time and told Marian she should be a writer one day. Miss Bird's prediction came true many years later, when Marian took a job with a local newspaper.
During Marian's longtime career as a journalist she garnered multiple awards, including several Florida Press Club awards, the New York Times Chairman's Award, the Amy Foundation First-Place Writing Award, and a nomination for a Pulitzer Prize. Her novel manuscripts also have won numerous awards at writer's conferences and retreats.Angela's Treasures is Marian's first novel to be published. More of her works are currently being prepped for publication.
Marian now resides in Ocala, Florida, with her daughter, Vicki, who has Down Syndrome, and their three-legged cat, Tripod. Her other daughter, Joanna, has three children.
