Charlay Marie always knew she wanted to be an author, having gained Internet raves over her fan fiction stories as a teenager. Seeing how well she could move her readers, she continued writing her first Christian fiction novel,
Under the Peach Tree.
She hopes to publish at least one book per year. Although she enjoys writing books, Charlay Marie's true passion is to write, produce, and direct inspirational, heartfelt movies. She is currently working on her first film project. Two of her biggest inspirations are Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry. Charlay Marie writes, directs, and lives in Columbus, Ohio with plans of moving to New York to continue her career.
