Marion Roberts always wanted to be a fashion designer, but she studied science, alternative medicine, psychotherapy, and psychology instead. She also worked as a chef and taught people how to cook.
Marion started writing because she wanted a job she could do in her pajamas. Also, her friends kept saying her emails were too long, and she needed to find another place to put her stories.
She was born in Melbourne, which has always been her hometown. Marion's first book featuring the irrepressible Sunny Hathaway, Sunny Side Up, was published in 2008. Her latest book is the YA psychological thriller, Cry Blue Murder.
