Marci is obsessed with writing. She's been doing it since she can remember. She writes on scraps of paper, tablecloths, her hand, napkins, her telephone, and sometimes, even her computer. She wants to tell stories—her stories, others' stories. She believes everyone should have a voice, and that we are all created with a deep desire to be heard. She feels called to be a voice for the "Silent Ones."

Writing is how Marci processes her inner world and the world around her. When she first started volunteering at the safe house in Spain four years ago—translating for broken, traumatized women—writing was the only way she could survive.

Her heart breaks and pours out in her words. Marci is the published author of three memoirs and creative non-fiction books and five children’s picture books.

Besides writing, Marci is a global nomad. Along with her French husband, four boys, and dog, Samy, she has traveled to more than thirty countries and has lived in the United States, France, Morocco, and Spain. She is a French and English teacher, certified life and writing coach, and an Arabic translator in government-run safe houses in Spain. She and her husband work among refugees and immigrants. She loves to travel, speak foreign languages, experience different cultures, eat ethnic foods, meet people from faraway lands, and of course, tell stories. She also loves giraffes, Dr. Pepper, french fries, and naps!
