{"mode":"live","websiteData":{"about":{"bio":"

To Marcie, it's all about history and backstory. She is enthralled by the impact of a person's story on history to the point she can't make it through a biographical movie without researching it while watching. This quirk in her personality draws her into her passion for historical fiction.

However, she has written various genres: poetry, short stories, video scripts, and plays. One of her current projects is a YA historical fiction novel that brings to the light the sacrifice and service of WWII Merchant Mariners. And yes, there is a backstory to this project.

Marcie lives in her Nebraska home with her husband, Dean. They have five children and three beautiful granddaughters.

You will find her most days in her writing office sipping a steaming cup of Chock full o' nuts coffee with her parakeet Pete chirping while she works. If not there, she is birding, gardening, or tackling her new venture into painting watercolor.

A researcher at heart, Marcie Sextro bases her historical fiction off of first-person accounts of the US Merchant Mariners. She has interviewed several civilian veterans of the force and collects sailors' journals.

A Brief History of the US Merchant Mariners

Merchant Mariners date back to an unofficial beginning in 1775 when the Continental Congress issued Letters of Marquees to privateers to disrupt the British Navy's supply chain.

Officially, President Roosevelt, after using U.S. private ships to help Britain's depleted Royal Navy haul supplies before we ever entered WWII, saw the need for Merchant Mariners. He passed the Merchant Marine Act in 1936 and called upon private shipbuilders to build hundreds of \"Liberty Ships\" while calling upon the nation to man the new vessels.

Roosevelt's call was answered, and to this day, Merchant Mariners provide a steady supply chain between nations and within the U.S.

Learn More About the Merchant Mariners

Marcie recommends...

\"Woody, Cisco & Me\" was the first book I read about the WWII MM and the adventures of Woody Guthre, Cisco Houston and author, Jim Longhi brought the world of the Mariner to life.
\"A Cold Corner of Hell\" by Robert Carse is full of data on the Murmansk convoys that were vital to winning the war.

The U.S. Merchant Mariners have been a vital part of every war effort in our country.

During WWII they had the highest loss rate; 1 in every 26 Mariners gave their lives to transport necessary ammunition and supplies.

The largest growth of the Merchant Mariners happened during WWII.
