Marie LaVerite is a bit of a mystery, even to her publisher. She holds a PhD in Psychology and practices in New York. She, her husband, and two children live on a small farm not far from Albany, New York. They travel frequently back to France, where Marie grew up until coming to the U.S. at 24 years old. An intensely private author, she doesn't attempt to explain or elaborate upon her work, preferring to let it speak for itself. Her ear for subtleties of interpersonal dialogue is unerring--we feel entirely present with her characters in a way that few authors have achieved. Marie LaVerite does welcome communication from her readers via her publisher at www.lexingfordpublishingllc.com.
