It's me, Marley O’Connor

Hi ya!

I am an indie author on Amazon and Ingramspark! I write romance with sub genres of science fiction, fanatsy, mafia, and dark romance!

I love reading the same genres I write. I love anime, Naruto, and Fairytail being my favorite animes! I love history, especially ancient history.

I originally wanted to be an archeologist. But I became a mom, so now I'm an EVS supervisor and full-time mom who homeschools her kids!

So, that's a bit about me!

2024/12/10 Edited to

... Read moreMarley O’Connor is not just a passionate indie author but also a devoted full-time mom balancing her responsibilities with her writing career. With a focus on romance that encompasses science fiction, fantasy, mafia, and dark romance, she has carved out a unique niche in literature. Her love for the genres she writes about fuels her storytelling, making her books vibrant and relatable to readers who share similar interests. Marley’s deep-seated appreciation for anime, particularly series like Naruto and Fairytail, further influences her narratives, often weaving in elements of adventure and fictional world-building that resonate with her audience. Having originally pursued a career in archaeology, Marley’s path took a different turn as she embraced motherhood and found a fulfilling role as an EVS supervisor. This shift didn't extinguish her passions but instead brought newfound inspiration to her writing, demonstrating that creative pursuits can thrive alongside family responsibilities. As a homeschooling mom, she nurtures her children’s education while instilling her love for literature and history—especially ancient history. Marley’s story reflects a growing community of indie authors who manage multiple roles while contributing to the literary world. Her journey serves as an inspiration for aspiring writers and mothers alike, showing that it’s possible to pursue one's dreams within the context of family life.

I absolutely love Marley twists. This is my second time doing them on myself and these are my current “go-to” styles. Usually when I search for inspo on styles to do, I look for loc hairstyles. I feel like this is a great hairstyle for the people who aren’t ready to commit to locking their hair yet
