Marsha DeFilippo

Biography

After retiring in June 2020, she finally had the time to finish a book she'd been working on for ten years, and to learn about the world of self-publishing. Since then, she's published three books as part of a romance trilogy whose main characters are finding love and second chances later in life. Now, Marsha has turned her pen to the cozy mystery genre, currently working on a multi-volume series with twists not found in many books of that genre.

When she's not writing, Marsha can be found in her crafting room, where quilting and fiber arts are her go-to creative outlets. She always keeps an ear to the ground for new techniques and skills to incorporate into her crafting, and feels that it's a natural extension of her writing. In a sense, both processes involve piecing together a story, choosing just the right materials, and creating something one-of-a-kind.

Marsha splits her time between Arizona and Maine, where she draws inspiration from the beauty and diversity of the landscapes around her. For her, writing and crafting are not simply hobbies, but a way of life: a way to stay curious, engaged, and connected to the world around her.
