Marilyn Brant has been told she writes with honesty, liveliness and wit (descriptors she’s grown terribly fond of) about complex, intelligent women (like her friends) and their significant personal relationships (basically, love and family stuff).

Although her favorite passion is undoubtedly books, she proves she's not just a literary snob by confessing her lifelong fascination (read: obsession) with popular music, especially from the 1980s, most flavors of ice cream, a variety of sensuous body lotions/oils and silky sleepwear--because, next to Borders, Barnes & Noble and, well, Ben & Jerry's, Victoria's Secret is her favorite store.
