Marissa Farrar is a multi-published fantasy and horror author. She was born in Devon, England, has travelled
all over the world, and has lived in both Australia and Spain. She now resides in
the countryside with her husband, two children, a crazy Spanish dog, two rescue
cats and six hens and ten goldfish. Despite returning to England, she daydreams
of one day being able to split her time between her home country and the balmy,
white sandy beaches of Spain.
Even though
she’s been writing stories since she was small and held dreams of being a
writer, her initial life plan went a different way.
In her
youth, inspired by James Herriot, she decided to become a vet, and would regularly
bring home new pets to her weary parents. Upon discovering her exams were never
going to get her into a veterinary degree, she ended up studying Zoology. Once
she completed her degree and realised she’d spent the majority trying to find
time to write, she decided to follow her dream of being an author. Seven years
later, she was published and two years after that she was able to say goodbye
to the day job.
However, she’s
continued to collect animals!
Marissa is
the author of four novels, including the dark vampire ‘Serenity’ series. Her
fifth novel, Underlife, a dark
fantasy set beneath the streets of London, will be published August 2012.
Her short
stories have been accepted for a number of anthologies including, Their Dark Masters, Red Skies Press, Masters of Horror: Damned If You Don’t,
Triskaideka Books; and 2013: The
Aftermath, Pill Hill Press.
