Born in a province known for butterfly knives, strong coffee and feisty people; raised in a mixed background of agriculture and industry. Her childhood was a combination of rural and urban. By three, she had acquired an incurable reading habit.

As a child, she was a woodland spirit with the power to absorb energy from nature. As a teenager, she had to resort to writing tearful poetry to balance her otherwise happy social life.

One grandfather nurtured her with stories of myths, legends and fantastical beings; another took her trekking. She collected fairy tales, wrote poetry and short stories, and developed an affinity for herbs, spices and trees.

She became an entrepreneur and a proud sales professional when she grew up but remains a storyteller to her core. She finally stopped dillydallying and answered her calling to become a writer. Now responds to Oz Mari G., her pen name..
