Marius Gabriel is a historical fiction, mystery and romance author as well as artist from South Africa. Over the years, he has published more than thirty titles under Madeleine Ker, a pseudonym and also under his real name.
She was born with printer’s ink in her veins as her parents were the wonders of “The Mafeking Mail”, a rural South African newspaper that covered the Boer War. His mother used to work as correspondent and editor while his father was the printer and compositor.
Once Gabriel was born, his mother went back to work and arranged to have her baby brought to the office to breastfeed. In his early childhood years, he spent several years at the experimental juvenile home for Catholics nicknamed Boy’s Town. It was still a huge privilege to be able to go to school and study even though he was the youngest boy at the school.
He would then spend several years in Taormina, a small beautiful town of Sicily. The upbringing would irrevocably tie her to the Mediterranean, the cuisine, way of life and the warmth of its people.

Writing fiction is something that Marius Gabriel has been doping ever since he was a child. He thinks it is something that he may be doing until he dies. He usually writes about what he has an interest in and not necessarily about his experiences. Gabriel finds this the best way to do an exploration of her imagination.
While he did love writing stories, it was not something he pursued actively in his high school or college years. However, things did change when he was in graduate school. As a graduate school student he found himself seriously short of money and started writing romance novels to earn some money.
Not long thereafter, he found that he still loved storytelling and he could possibly make a career out of it. During this time, he penned more than thirty short romance stories before she thought that she was maybe ready for longer works. Marius sold his debut romance work to Mills and Boon under Madeleine Ker in 1983.
Since then he has gone on to become a prolific author with more than a dozen novels to his name. He has since left his academic pursuits to pursue his dream of becoming a professional fiction author.
