Poet, author, scribe.
“Marlena Evangeline is a poet beyond fabulous. Her words fire the steel in a cold lake. Dreams and phophesy rise and come alive in her beautiful poems of the Lady Diana. Marlena has found a way to mesh the modern with the legends – seamless and profound. A beautiful legacy.” Robert Ybara Means, former Poet Laureate, Malibu
Her current work, Liam McPhee and The Thief of Laughter is a “refreshingly original” young adult fantasy set in the Scottish Highlands.
In this young adult fantasy debut a group of children attempt to thwart the malicious schemes of Scotland’s Dark Faeries. Young adult readers and adults who love fantasy will find much to like in this story about loyalty, friendship and laughter.
In the spirit of Peter Pan, a scoundral named Drudge steals laughter from the children of Scotland and sails away on a pirate ship named The Maisterful. The faeries and children and fantastical creatures in this tale will keep middle-grade readers enchanted from beginning to end.
Here in this imaginative world of long ago, pirate ships sail the Calendoneon Sea where magical and fantastical creatures complicate the adventures of Liam McPhee and his pals as they go on a quest to save Scotland’s stolen laughter.
