Marisa Dillon

Born in Norway, Marisa was raised in the states and became a U.S. Citizen when her Norwegian father became naturalized. It was Marisa's maternal Italian grandfather, Pasquale Fatibeno, who immigrated to American, and gave her the other half of her international roots. Growing up, Marisa traveled to Europe many times, once even cross-Atlantic, and was fortunate enough to tour much of the continent, as well as Scandinavia, staying at length with family or in unconventional places, like a nun's convent. With a degree in journalism, Marisa has spent many years writing for the television industry. As an award-winning producer/director/marketer, she has worked on commercial production, show creation, product branding and social media. It was the love of travel, and particularity a love for England and its famous castles that drew Marisa to write a novel that begins when the historic House of Tudor is born. Her story pays homage to the Most Noble Order of the Garter, the most senior and the oldest British Order of Chivalry founded by Edward III in 1348. The Lady waits to tell her tale and the author hope's you'll enjoy the adventurous ride!
