About
Scarlett Marie is an author residing on the east coast of Australia.
When she’s not busy writing, she’s usually trying to keep up with her children’s demands, share her lap with a cat and finish a cup of tea before it gets too cold.
Sometimes though, when she’s given up on all of that (the cat mostly, not the children) you’ll usually find her taking the dog for a walk, spending time with her pony, Rosie, or reading a book.

10 Quick Questions
1. Are you a coffee or tea drinker?
Tea. Definitely tea. Coffee gives me a headache!
2. Have you always wants to be a writer?
Not really. I’ve always been one of those who was a bit lost in what I wanted to do in life. But then a story came to me that wouldn’t leave me alone, and now some ten years later here I am, a published author.
3. What word(s) can you never spell correctly the first time?
Inevitably and definitely.
I don’t now why, but it’s true. Every single time I go to write them, I get their spelling wrong. Which is especially frustrating since I like to use them a lot!
4. If you were throwing a dance party for one, which song would you listen to?
Superheroes – The Script.
5. Which book have you re-read the most?
I remember giving Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix a fair amount of my time when I was younger.
6. What’s your favourite thing about being a writer?
Being able to work on my own.
7. What’s your least favourite thing about being a writer?
Being able to work on my own. It’s a blessing and curse to have the solitude writing requires.
8. As an Australian, how much do you unironically love Vegemite?
Quite a bit.
I mean, I only ever use a little bit, and there’s always lots of butter on my toast before I reach for the Vegemite jar. But it’s a staple in my diet.
9. What’s your ideal getaway?
Being somewhere where I can explore a new hiking trail, preferably through a rainforest that ends at a waterfall. There’s just something so magical about waterfalls in a rainforest gulley. Plus, the sense of adventure that comes with exploring a new trail is always fun!
10. Where’s your favourite place to write?
My office because it’s quiet.
I don’t like listening to music when I’m writing, and though I have previously gone to cafes, I find it more convenient and comfortable to just write at home.
The tea is free and the biscuit jar is always full.
