As A Novelist

Dee Marie has a vast knowledge of Arthurian Legends, with a reference library overflowing with books on British, Celtic, Roman, and Druid history.

Research for her Sons of Avalon series included a visit to Britain. She was privileged to walk within the inner circle of Stonehenge, embracing the Dancing Stones on the Salisbury Plain. While in Cornwall, she explored the moors surrounding Bodmin, and ambled about the ancient ruins of Tintagel.

Although not initially written as a novel for young adults ... youthful readers have embraced the first book in her series. Sons of Avalon: Merlin's Prophecy won two prestigious awards in the YA category: Teens Read Too: Gold Star Award for Excellence, and    the  2008 ForeWord (magazine) Book of the Year Finalist: Young Adult Fiction.
