Marie Dees

I'm a Central Florida author and many of my stories celebrate the quirky aspects of Florida that people don't know about. I live about 45 minutes from Cassadaga, a town built by and for psychics and spiritualists and about 2 hours from St. Augustine, one of the oldest and most haunted towns in America. My book research has taken me on many different adventures, including attending paranormal investigations with a local ghost hunting group.

Like many authors, I have a day job. Currently I work at a social media company called thoughts.com. This means I spend my day on the web. Yes, being on Facebook and Twitter are part of my day job. I also hang out on Tumblr and I've been using Pinterest for book research. Before thoughts.com, I spent many years working as part of the Walt Disney World communications team.
