Author Biography

A few years back, Marci Weidemiller switched her blue pills for red and jumped off the merry-go-round, leaving behind a vanilla life complete with house in the suburbs, successful career, life insurance and premium cable to pursue her favorite daydream of being a writer. Since then her path has taken her from the dramatic vistas of the Arizona desert, to the misty, evergreen cliffs of the Oregon coast, to the white sands of the Florida gulf. She has been joined on this nomadic journey by her devoted four legged muses. Marci has published six cookbooks under the pseudonym of her whimsical, quirky alter ego, Mango Dragonfly. The charming recipe-packed books are peppered with inspirational quotes, personal musings, lore, legend and an abundant dose of heart and soul. Marci has published her first novel, "Time of Light," a gathering of archangels, demons and gods lifted from the pages of familiar religious story books and plopped irreverently on the streets of the City of Angels...modern day Los Angeles. This thought-provoking modern fairy tale is the by-product of a lifetime curiosity of religious dichotomies, sacred mysteries and the eternal pursuit of spiritual growth. Marci is currently working on more cookbooks, a second novel about an extended family of retired circus performers living on a private island just a ferry ride away from the coast of New York City and filling her life with gratitude and soul-inspiring moments.
