Greetings. I am Marianne G. Petrino. I have self-published Thundercats fan fiction for many years. My web page had all of my work to date. Sadly, in recent years, I have neglected it while I attempted to carve out a place for myself with more formal self-publishing, which began with the National Novel Writing Month of 2010. So on August 19, 2015, I took the web page down. I have begun to upload it here on Wattpad.


Before my "career" as an "author" came to a whimpering end, I had self-published two urban metaphysical, chick lit novels with an Italian twist, one travel memoir, and a young adult equine science fantasy. This last book only had a short sale run. I am putting it up here on Wattpad, so that more people can enjoy it, because I think it is my best book, and it might also do some good. ) If you enjoy my story, Silver Hooves in the Darkness, please consider making a donation to combat Fragile X, an inherited disease. You can check out the National Fragile X Foundation ( http://www.fragilex.org/ ) and Fraxa ( http://www.fraxa.org/ ). Thank you in advance for your consideration and kindness.

I continue to be involved with the SF Microstory contest on Goodreads. That group has published an anthology of flash fiction called The Future Is Short: Science Fiction in a Flash. Volume 3 has just come out. All are available at the usual online sources. You might be inspired to join the fun. I intend to post some of my entries that are not in the anthology.

My writing style tends to be formal and in third person, not a popular combination these days. However, I like to think that I tell a good tale. So I hope you will consider taking a journey in reading with me.

Thank you.

I have left you all with one story for now, apparently my most popular in terms of actual reads.
