Being on submission is like sending your child to an audition, waiting outside in the car, and not being allowed to go in, ask questions, or know how long it will take. Also the child is a manuscript. Also you wrote the child. Also please don't leave me. #OnSubmission #AuthorLife

I received my first employee of the month trophy ever from fabulous best-ever boss Sally Doherty (For taking her books to book fairs 💕)

I just had the best time writing a chapter for my cosy, witchy menopausal rage book where one of my characters discovers her magic: the ability to grow anything from a seed in an instant! #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

It's World Oceans' Day! And I have two books for you set in the ocean! One an eco thriller, the other a mermaid romantasy! #Ocean #Romantasy #Reading

There is a specific joy of recommending a book to someone and then watching them fall for it exactly the way you did. #Reading #Books #ReadingCommunity

It's World Environment Day! Which means you absolutely need to be reading a book about the plastic in the ocean! And it's dedicated to David Attenborough! #Horrorbooks #Ecoficiton #WorldEnvrionmentDay

Begin a steamy love affair beneath the sea where betrayal and secrets shadow everything. #Action #Adventure #Romance #RomanticTale #SteamyRomance @marisanoelle.bsky.social

Writing a sport you love into a romance is the ultimate self-indulgence and I have loved every minute of writing Board Wars. Let's hope an editor loves it too!🤞 #SportsRomance #RomanceBooks

It's World Turtle Day! I promise you there are turtles in Plastic, not just see monsters... 😀

It is International Tea Day! Which means I think you should read my favorite book all about tea! #Tea #Books #Reading

I may have written the first chapter of The Thing with Teeth - my female menopausal rage book...with magic!

Board Wars vibes if you need them: ☀️ Hawaii's North Shore 🌊 Competitive surfing 🔥 Slow burn 😏 Banter that could start a fire 💙 A hero with grief he hasn't told anyone about 🏄 A heroine who refuses to shrink for anyone (currently on sub! 🤞) #Romance #SportsRomance

All set up for Crawley craft & flea ☺️

Ancient mysteries beneath the waves. 🌊 Dive into Marisa Noelle’s latest adventure. 📖 @marisanoelle.bsky.social #fantasy #mystery #books

When the best email slides into your inbox. I will never stop being grateful for messages like these 🫶🏻

The best beach reads have something underneath them — a feeling, a truth, a quiet ache — that you don't notice until you're already back home and still thinking about it. #BeachReads #Reading #Books

Ready for My Oxford craft and flea! Also got some fab books by the brilliant Sally Doherty!

Happy 100th birthday to my biggest hero 🥰

He's a legend who walked away from everything. She's an underdog with everything to prove. Together they're the most dangerous thing on the North Shore — and it has nothing to do with the waves. 🌊 And editors interested? 😀😙🫰 #SportsRomance #RomanceBooks #ReadingCommunity

Sam and Castiel turning up in THE BOYS = THE BEST THING EVER 😍

All set up for Guildford craft fair!

Did I mention that Secrets of the Deep, the first book in The Mermaid Chronicles, is currently only 99p/c! GO! GO! GO!

There is a particular kind of book that feels like sunshine and I will hunt it down at every point of the year including February.

When you get a hand written note from a reader 😭😍🥹

One of the fascinating things I learned on a recent trip to Japan was that if a Samurai took their thumb off the guard of their sword, it would bring so much shame that they would execute themselves...

Who's a fictional romantic lead you'd actually want to date versus one you enjoy reading about but would absolutely not survive in real life? #romancebooks #romance

Honest post: I want this book to find its editor so badly. Not just for me, but for everyone who loves the ocean and sports romance and surfing and damaged boys and independent women... That's the dream. That's what I'm waiting for. #AuthorThreads #SportsRomance #RomanceBooks

It's International Day of Forests! Why not read a book set completely in a forest? While in a forest? 😅

I've recently gone on sub with my rivals-to-lovers surfing romance in which Kelly Slater has a cameo role (naturally) and now I can't stop [picturing the movie version in which he'll play himself...how about it Kelly?

Anyone else? 😩

Submission for my rivals-to-lovers surfing romance feels like paddling into a wave you can’t see yet. Is it a ten? Or a wipeout? #authorLife #WritingCommunity

World Book Day has been fabulous! Think I’m gonna sleep for a week 😅

I am sooo nervous about being on sub with my rivals-to-lovers surfing romance. Manifesting by imagining the PR boxes: surfboard keyrings, cocktail umbrellas, lei necklaces, sex wax, sun glasses, bio sun cream... a trip to Hawaii????

It's World Wildlife day. To celebrate that, we're going to think about all the animals in The Mermaid Chronicles... mermaids (yes, it counts) sharks wales turtles jellyfish dolphins seahorses a polar bear wolves (of the sea variety) sea monsters (yes, that counts too) orcas eels muttwalkers

Did you know it was World Polar Bear Day? I happen to have a polar bear in book 5 of The Mermaid Chronicles, but you'll have to read through the first 4 to get there...😅

It's World Pangolian Day! There are no pangolians in my books whatsoever, but perhaps you'll enjoy a mermaid or a shark or a butterfly?

Who knew I'd be spending hours researching ski resorts in Norway for my Jack Frost romantasy? 😅😍❄️

I have written the first 669 words of my Jack Frost romantasy and I am SO EXCITED!!!

Happy Audio Publication day to Denizens of Darkness (book 6 in The Mermaid Chronicles) Read for: Evil gods of the deep A magical trident A love affair that goes oh so wrong... Read by the most awesome Dane Anderson

Like Miss Peregrine’s but darker. Like Red Riding Hood but bloodier. Like Snow White but haunted. Try The Unraveling of Luna Forester.

Brookwood Hospital was quiet at night. Too quiet. Until she heard the scratching in the walls and the rustle of wings behind the mirror. #DarkFantasy
