Marlo's no different from you and me. He's just a regular guy trying to make his way through life and find out who he really is. He just happens to have rainbow coloured hair and a preternatural talent for juggling. Wait... what?
Becoming Marlo: An illustrated short story by Shelley Zarudenec
Joy and
sorrow are a part of life. Over time, our experiences shape our identities. But
what would you do if you were to wake up tomorrow and discover that your most
profound heartache has been written on your face for all to see?
In this coming of age story, Marlo J. Mooney is embarking upon the most exciting part of his life. His future shines brightly ahead of him, ripe with endless possibilities and promise. But Marlo's hopes and dreams become threatened when he learns that he has a unique condition in which the deepest sorrows of his life become permanently etched upon his body. This transformation sends him on a journey to discover his true self. But will he be able to accept it?

Hi, I'm Shelley Zarudenec. Becoming Marlo is my first self-published work. The book was written, illustrated, designed and published by yours truly. The only thing I didn't do was print it - TLAC Toronto Printing did that. And they did a beautiful job, hats off to them.
This project was conceived in January 2014 and I'm so pleased to finally release it into the world! Thank you for visiting. I hope you'll join Marlo on his journey of self-discovery.
***This is a storybook for grown ups. Not recommended for children under 13 years of age.***
