MARJORIE Thelen

Hello Readers!

I’m foremost a novel writer but have been known to put out an essay and poem or two.   I write mystery, science fiction, and romance.

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 7,000 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.
​
My utopian sci fiction (no zombies allowed) is a series called the  Deovolante Space Opera.  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.  

My mysteries span exotic places like Copan, Cyprus, Washington DC and Harney County, Oregon.  One is the Fiona Marlowe series. I started in romance with the Washington DC Romance Writers. In December 2018 I published a historical romance set in Galveston, Texas in 1850.  My current work in progress is a historical fiction which takes place in 1853 on the overland trail to California.  The title is Wings of the Dawn. 

I read widely, mostly non-fiction - theoretical physics, climate, black authors, the Gurdjieff work, the Dhammapa. I 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 solitary task of writing.
