About

Marian L. Thomas was raised in Oak Park, Illinois, and once dreamed of becoming a journalist—until life led her to storytelling instead. Now an award-winning women’s fiction author, she crafts emotionally rich novels about love, loss, and resilience.

Her books, Someone Like Me and The Caged Butterfly, both earned the USA Best Book Fiction Award and became #1 Amazon bestsellers. She has also received the AALBC Bestseller Award and the Sankofa Literary Society Award. Her novel I Believe in Butterflies helped her rank among the Top 100 Most Popular Authors in Literary Fiction on Amazon.

Featured on Fox, NBC, CBS, and USA Today, Marian lives just outside Atlanta with her husband of more than 20 years. When she’s not writing, she’s likely watching Pride and Prejudice for the hundredth time—and insisting that popcorn counts as a vegetable.
