Rafter can strike matches on polyester, and Benny can turn his innie belly button into an outie.

I'm Marion Jensen. By day I'm a mild-mannered instructional designer at American Express. By night, I put on a cape and write superhero books. Books that will make you laugh, cry (but only because you're laughing so hard) , and then hopefully laugh some more.

In my spare time I enjoy running, board games, cooking, and reading. I'm also a board-certified, synchronized Pez-dispenser.

My first book ALMOST SUPER came out in January, 2014 with HarperCollins.
