Welcome to my World
Marjorie Thelen
I live and write twenty miles east of Burns, Oregon, the dry side of the state. At 4200 feet the region is high desert country and known as the Oregon frontier. Burns is in Harney County, which is comprised of 10,000 square miles and 6,800 people. That translates to a lot of wide open spaces, big sky, sunshine, rim rock, sage brush, and Belding’s ground squirrels. It’s perfect space for a writer.
I’m foremost a novel writer but have been known to put out an essay and poem or two. I belong to the Willamette Writers, a Portland, Oregon group, which holds a top rate conference every year the first weekend in August. I write mystery with a touch of humor and dollop of romance.
I also write utopian sci fiction (no zombies allowed) and am in the process of publishing the Deovolante Space Opera series. This is a spoofy look at human beings, and that life, of course, exists in other galaxies, planets, universes. There are only good aliens in this series. I read widely, often non-fiction. I also belong to an eclectic group of local writers, The Harney Basin Writers, who have been a source of inspiration, support, and laughs in the often lonely task of writing.
