Marianne Chappell

Marianne is the creator of the Broken Arrow Universe, a collection of standalone science-fiction romances connected by shared history, overlapping paths, and the quiet gravity of found family. Her stories take place far from thrones and battlefronts, focusing instead on the people who live in the aftermath—those who fix what’s broken, salvage what’s left, and build homes out of ships that should have fallen apart long ago. She writes slow-burn romance with emotional weight, flawed characters who fall hard, and love that feels earned. 

She writes early in the mornings before the house wakes up, and is most interested in the moment a character realizes they've already chosen — the small, quiet pivots that don't look like turning points until later. The Broken Arrow Universe began as one ship and one stubborn mechanic, and grew from there.
