Monica began freelance writing career under duress after losing her sanity check when she entered Paizo’s 2015 RPG Superstar contest and winning. She is well known for her stubbornness. Monica has been gaming several decades, but clearly lives outside the mundane timeline of this plane.

Marlowe House was established in 2015 when Andrew and Monica realized that at times they write both separate and together and wanted to acknowledge that collaborative work. As well, they like to acknowledge their luck at having such a fantastic surname to write under while giving their gaming children an opportunity to grow into the family business.
