About Marjorie Vernelle
Marjorie Vernelle was born in Omaha, Nebraska, and as many born on the prairie, she wandered to other places. Educated at the University of Toronto, where she received her B.A. degree, she then lived many years in San Francisco and the Bay Area, earning an M.A. in English, before moving first to Seattle, then to the Cote d'Azur in France. After she returned to the U.S., she began working at National University in San Diego. She most recently lived for 8 years in Avignon, where she painted, studied art history and traveled Europe to see famous works of art in situ. Her writing reflects her many travels and her flair for taking real-life situations and turning them toward fictional purposes. Currently settled in her home in Colorado, she teaches online courses for National University, paints. and writes tales reflecting the human mystery.
Her current work, Beautiful Imperfections, was written over a period of months in 2015 at a favorite cafe in Avignon. It came from a period of deep reflection brought on when a friend shared that over a period of six months she had just lost three men who had been very important in her life. In her own personal reflection, the author was startled to find that only one of the three men who came to her mind had been someone important to her at the time when she knew all three. Those others who seemed so important at that time have long since faded from her thoughts. The three who remained became characters in the fictional setting of the novel.

Beautiful Imperfections
Apr 10, 2017
$2.99
Wabi sabi, a Japanese term for finding beauty in imperfection, perfectly describes Keith James, "the girl with the boys' names," who travels from the Midwestern U.S. to Toronto and on into the world of fine art and big money. Like pieces of raku pottery amidst the porcelain, Keith, her mentor, a brilliant Haitian-born art historian, and the handsome Jewish art dealer who becomes her husband, are all standouts in a world that views them as outsiders. Through loss and love, they discover that art, like love, redeems, and that love, like beauty, is imperfect.
