Marília was born on a snowy winter day in Ithaca-NY, and after learning the word "bus", relocated back to the northeast of Brazil with her parents, where she's lived ever since. She still considers herself as living in the sunny Natal (give or take 254km to the south) with her parents and her cats. Everyone else, except her parents, disagrees. She started writing when she was sixteen, in notebooks and pretty much any writable surface, and hasn't stopped since. Grace, her first published work, was finished in 2012, and is one of her more recent ideas. Whenever real life doesn't get in the way, she's doing her best to finish all the other stories she's dreamed up over the years.
