Danie Marie's passion is to author stories that engage her readers, and in some way, she prays, impacts their lives in a positive way. While fictionalized, many of her stories are inspired by true events, and one thing she doesn't mind, is taking risks in her writing.

Danie took first place in an online Christmas short story competition, and third in another competition. You can read her personal stories in two of the Inspire Christian Writers anthologies, Inspire Faith, and Inspire Trust.

Danie and her husband live in Northern California with her bird, Buddy, a cockatiel. They especially enjoy spending time at their second home in Lake Tahoe, but most of all, being with their son and daughter-in-love, and their two grandsons.
