Marcia Willett is a successful British novelist, best known for her women's fiction. Despite her lifelong love of reading, Willett did not begin her writing career until she was fifty years old. Her writing style is characterized by its ease and accessibility, making it popular with readers around the world, while still maintaining a level of depth and thoughtfulness. Her characters are strong and resilient, often overcoming adversity in their stories.
Before becoming a writer, Willett had aspirations of becoming a ballet dancer when she was young. However, she grew out of the classical proportions required for ballet, and her dreams of becoming a ballerina were put to rest. Willett's writing career began later in life, and she has since written over twenty novels and some short stories, many of which are standalone works. She has also written a series of novels known as the "Chadwick Chronicles."
In addition to her work published under her own name, Willett has also written four novels under the pen name "Willa Marsh." Her books have been translated into many languages and published in over sixteen countries, appearing on bestseller lists in various countries. Willett's early life was centered around ballet, but a family crisis led her to pursue a new career as a novelist, a decision she has never regretted. She currently resides in a beautiful and wild part of Devon, where she enjoys visits from her son and young family.
