Marie Sontag

“Bringing the Past to Life—One Adventure at a Time,” epitomizes the passion and writing career of Marie Sontag. Her BA in social science, along with her MA and PhD in education has provided Dr. Sontag with a knowledge-base for writing historical fiction for middle grade and young adult readers. Her over 13-year teaching experience has provided insight into what students enjoy, and how to encourage them to become life-long learners. When not writing, she spends her free time as a volunteer with SCBWI as the regional administrator for North Texas, and is otherwise found playing princesses with her granddaughter, or super heroes with her grandson.
