About Me

About the Author

Meet Sonja Marcus Storyteller, Traveler, And A Listener At Heart

I write the kinds of stories that feel like late-night confessions, ones that settle in your chest long after you’ve turned the final page. My work is inspired by the places that changed me, the people who shaped my heart, and the deep belief that some connections don’t disappear — they evolve.

My debut novel, Invisible Strings, grew out of my own experiences abroad, in love, and in the real-world question of whether the right person can be tied to your story forever — even when the timing isn’t perfect.

I live in New York with my two teenagers and a delightfully unruly rescue dog who keeps our household creatively chaotic. When I’m not writing or planning my next adventure, I work in a field that matters deeply to me — managing clinical trials for a nonprofit blood cancer organization. That work informs my writing in unexpected ways: through quiet strength, empathy, resilience, and the shared humanity in every story.

Every second chance asks the same question: will you finally choose it?

A little about my writing

Time, distance, and pride have a way of convincing us to look away from what matters most. I write for the moments we don’t stop thinking about. I’m drawn to the in-between moments the almosts, the pauses, the paths we didn’t take the first time around.

01

Timing

I’m fascinated by how timing shapes love not just when we meet someone, but who we are when we do.

02

Place

Cities, travel, and distance influence how we grow and who we become brave enough to love.

03

Connection

I believe some connections don’t fade. They wait.
