Who is Michelle Marly ?

Michelle Marly is a pseudonym. It goes back to my real first name and to the place Marly-le-Roi west of Paris. Father and son Alexandre Dumas once lived there and I thought it was nice to be called the adopted home of the authors of "The Three Musketeers" and "The Lady of the Camellias". I was allowed to live in Paris for a few years and have kept France in my heart, even though I now live in Berlin and Munich. I grew up in Hamburg in an artist household, the world of music and film was very close to me, but also that of fashion. I got my first spurs as a reporter and worked as an editor for various magazines for a long time. Now I work exclusively as a writer. Under my "real" name Micaela Jary, I mainly write family sagas for Goldmann Verlag.
