Marguerite Nardone Gruen’s writing journey began with an unexpected idea that refused to leave her mind. A dream eventually became her first novel, opening the door to a trilogy and more stories that followed. Her willingness to follow that original inspiration has become an important part of her journey as an author.
With The Madness of March: A Love Story, Marguerite brings her love of college basketball into a fictional story centered around Paul Tanner and Nicky Newman, two highly recruited point guards whose friendship becomes an important part of their lives. Their journey shows how quickly success and attention can change a person’s path.
The story also explores the relationships that can help someone find their way back. Nicky sees Paul as a brother and worries about losing him after already experiencing the loss of his own brother. When Paul meets Maggie Sardo, love gives him another reason to reconsider the choices he has been making.
Basketball is also an important part of Marguerite’s own creative inspiration. Her memories of attending University of Scranton basketball games with her husband during the late 1970s and 1980s, along with her love of March Madness, helped spark the ideas behind the book.
From her first trilogy to The Madness of March: A Love Story, Marguerite continues to build a collection of stories shaped by imagination, relationships, and the subjects she enjoys most. Now, readers have a new place to discover those stories and learn more about the author behind them.
