Marina Meier is the author of Then I Choose a Horrible End, a psychological thriller that dives deep into fear and blurred reality. She completed The Magic of Editing and Editorial Magic, two intensive writing and editing programs focused on structure and character development — and later returned as a mentor, offering editorial feedback to writers working in three languages. Originally from Ukraine, Marina now lives abroad and writes across languages and borders.
 
Marina believes Stephen King is responsible for at least half of her fears — and still considers him one of her greatest inspirations. She writes to understand fear. To show how it shapes our minds, words, and actions. Almost like her protagonist, she lives with it — not as intensely, but closely enough to understand it. She finds it easier to write about than to speak aloud about it. This novel is her way of showing how isolating fear can feel, and how vital support is when it begins to take over.
