Marjorie grew up in Bozeman, left at 20 to see the world and returned to settle down in her beloved mountains in 1984 (although those Micronesian
beaches were tempting). She wrote for newspapers and was a radio/television personality in Guam, started the Micronesian News Service in Saipan, worked for the World Affairs Council of Northern California and the San Francisco Chronicle, and spent eight years as a U.S. diplomat, stationed in Bangkok and Sapporo. In Bozeman she has taught Japanese language classes, worked as a typesetter, edited Extension Service publications at MSU, and has written an opinion column for the Bozeman Chronicle since 1987. These days she plays the accordion in public as a member of the Awesome Polka Babes and is associate producer of one of Bozeman’s community theatre companies. Her first novel is due out in 2006.
