Yet, writing has always been a part of Marina's life. She has been creating stories with her prints, lookbooks, collections, fashion shows... Imagination and fantasy have always played a key role in Marina's work. She has been writing poetry for as long as she could remember and received acclaim. She has worked on numerous unpublished short stories and novels. And only with the support of her kids did she gather the courage to enter the new and fascinating field of publishing.
