Marie has loved writing ever since she could pick up a pen. Here earliest writing recognition came at the age of ten when she won a short story contest in her class, a crime mystery no less. Ever since then, she writes in her spare time, taking part writing in anthologies or local writing contests in Canada.
As much as she loves her job, she loves writing more and would quit her job to write full time if she could.
She was known as M.C. Glan with her earlier works including Midnight on Mars, before she changed her last name to her mother's maiden name, Montine (pronounced moan-teen).
Marie’s work includes fantasy, horror, paranormal, and science fiction, with many readers and reviewers claiming this is one author to watch for.
Her other passion is astrology; and you will find most of it interwoven into her stories like Midnight on Mars, and her upcoming crime thriller, Persephone’s Pool.
Her earlier works – The Empians Pantheon trilogy – deals with dark and light much like in mythological stories about Proserpina and Hades.
Red River is her only story that is a fiction novella and won an award with ChickLitCafe for best romantic suspense.
When she is not weaving magical and dangerous worlds, she is relaxing with her husband, Alvin – who collaborates stories ideas with her and who is also a poet - and their two dogs, Mya and Luna, watching movies or a good tv series, and on occasion playing a fantasy RPG.
