Marianne Padilla
Marianne Padilla has trouble corralling her illusions. When they’re not running amok across her creative fiction podcast, Roving Shorts, they’ve occasionally been spotted loose on a few of her paintings. In the past, she’s tried organizing them with education and came out of it with a BA in Linguistics from UC Berkeley, and an MA in English from CSU East Bay. That helped, but not enough. After that, her imaginary entourage tagged along with her to inhabit a sleepy suburb of Orlando, FL, along with her husband and four children.
