Meet Marissa...

Hey, readers! So glad you're here! 

​

Marissa McFarland (neé Campanella) is the author of her debut novel, WHEN GOOBYES BEGIN. Her short story, New in Town, was featured in the online magazine, Pawners Papers.

Born and raised in Eastern Pennsylvania in an Italian American household, she now resides in Clemson, South Carolina with her husband and two boys. 

When Marissa isn't writing, she can be found chauffeuring her sons to soccer practices, reading audition lines with her youngest son, an actor, taste testing her older son's baked goods for his baking business, or cheering on her favorite Philly sports teams.

Marissa began writing her first novel as a form of therapy while her family struggled through her father's Alzheimer's diagnosis. As the disease progressed, Marissa knew she could reach other readers who have had similar experiences. 

She is currently working on another novel, one that will bring laughter to her readers, especially the moms out there.

 

She would love to hear

from her readers!
