PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
London, 2 January 2026 – Reader’s House Magazine, a highly esteemed literary publication renowned for showcasing exceptional storytelling talent, has featured award-winning author and artist Marlene M. Bell in its latest issue. Bell’s remarkable journey from crafting articles on sheep husbandry to writing internationally acclaimed thrillers was highlighted through an exclusive interview, earning praise for her celebrated Annalisse series and standalone mysteries, including A Hush at Midnight.
The magazine commended Bell for her ability to masterfully merge genres such as romance, suspense, and historical intrigue, delivering gripping narratives that resonate deeply with readers worldwide. Reader’s House described the author’s works as “richly textured tales with heart-stopping twists and vividly painted worlds,” reinforcing her dedication to crafting immersive experiences for her audiences.
In the interview, Bell shared insights into her creative process, her passion for antiquities and landscapes, and her evolution as a storyteller. Reflecting on her writing journey, Bell noted, “I fell into writing fiction by accident, but my love of a challenge pushed me toward weaving adventure into stories.” Speaking on her meticulous approach to research, she added, “Collecting antiquarian books and antique furniture helps me create narratives steeped in rich historical detail.”
Bell also discussed her ability to balance character-driven romance with fast-paced suspense, explaining, “I prefer organically driven character actions because they tend to feel more realistic, especially in dialogue.” Her latest standalone mystery, A Hush at Midnight, features a book cover inspired by one of her own photographs—a dream fulfilled for the author. She stated, “Readers do indeed judge books by their covers. In the advent of online shopping from thumbnail photos on phones, a book cover has to catch the eye quickly. A sunset does this nicely.”
With her unwavering commitment to artistry, intricately researched plots, and vivid storytelling, Bell continues to captivate readers across genres. Her upcoming novel, a domestic suspense thriller set in a wintry rural setting, is slated for release in spring 2026 and promises to bring yet another thrilling world to life.
