Marianne Delacourt is me! ;D or in more official tones ... Marianne Delacourt is the alter ego of internationally published SF writer Marianne de Pierres. Marianne Delacourt is the lighter, funnier naughtier side of Marianne de Pierres who is renowned for the dark satire in her SF writing. Check her out at www.tarasharp.com |

I'll be honest, at first.... I thought you may actually have gone crazy!
Then I read the rest of you blog posts, very, very clever idea ;D
Excited to see how it turns out

Tj, shame on you! I'm the sanest person I know  My Tara Tasse pulishers are keen for me to promote my new name. I wanted a psuedonym so as not to infuriate my SF readers - I've already switched sub genres - I didn't think they would appreciate a leap to humourous crime as well. At least not without a clear signal from me. best MDP |

A Lamborghini Reventon, MDP? A bit un-Parrish. Certainly more razor-sharp than a Monaro (even that surprisingly sophisticated looking pilarless one they've been flashing around lately).
Mmm... intrigued...

Hi Stellar.
Yes - Tara Tasse is a bit more materialistic than Parrish - but she can laugh at herself.

Hey, Marianne - why the name-change to Tara Sharp? And do we have a release date for Sharp Shooter yet? |

Hi Chir,
basically the publishers wanted a name that they could play titles off against. We went through hundreds of suggestions and this was the one my editor and I both liked.
