Welcome to my website. Here you can find out more about me and my work.

I live and work in central England, sharing my home with my husband and youngest son. The older boys have grown up and left the nest. With more time on my hands I have managed to settle down to some serious writing and have had several short stories published. I write what I enjoy reading: fantasy, be it erotic, science fiction or fairy-tale.

I should warn you that I enjoy writing about the darker side of life; I like to dance along the edge of pleasure and pain.

I would love to hear from you, dear reader. You can email me at mariesoutien@hotmail.com

Two’s Company (my first e-book) is now released, and you may purchase it from Loose Id.

Ticket to Ride (writing as ‘Bekka from Birmingham’) is a short story in the Mammoth Book of Women’s Fantasies by Sonia Florens (editor) available from Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com

I have also written several short stories for Forum UK magazine, some of which may be read on my blog.
