Marissa Kinzel

Marissa Kinzel is a long-time lover of fantasy universes and imaginative character design. She graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2018 with a B.A. in Writing and Rhetoric, with a minor in Digital Humanities. Partnering with other artists to create multimedia works is her lifelong goal, as artistic endeavors are always more worthwhile when shared with other collaborators.

Her debut novel, The Trinity Prophecy, was a labor of love that started as a video game concept for a writing class at UCF. In developing the novel, she reached out to illustrator Melissa McManus and worked together to develop the custom illustrated cover along with 4 spot illustrations for the text.

Marissa plans to write more books in the Endra universe and hopes they continue to be inspired by all of her favorite video games.
