About me

I'm a little bit country. I'm a little bit rock n' roll. I'm a little bit of a computer dork, and I've got a travel bug lodged in my soul.

My love of music, foreign languages, programming, and wry humor infuses all that I write.

I also write nerdy rom com under the name Lorelei Parker.

  • Kirkus Reviews

    Romance junkies will get a kick out of this fun, self-referential spin on just about every trope in the book.

  • Robinne Lee, author of The Idea of You

    A uniquely clever exploration of love, literature and self-discovery, DATING BY THE BOOK is an unexpected, refreshing read.

  • Elly Blake, New York Times bestselling author of Frostblood

    This book! All the heart eyes! I laughed so hard and also screamed internally a lot as I was dying to figure out what was really going on. The relationships and dynamics were so vibrant and nuanced and I adored both Benji AND Jean Luc.

    Mary Ann Marlowe captured me as a fan with her first novel, “Some Kind Of Magic” and I continue to love her work. I’m an auto buy.

    Genuinely I love Mary Ann Marlowe's writing technique, it is captivating and you lose yourself in the story. The scenes are perfectly set and I could really feel the passion while the musicians played their set.

    Mary Ann Marlowe is fast becoming one of my favorite authors when it comes to easy romantic comedy stories.
