Mockingbird & Vulture

Introduced to the tabletop roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons at a young age, and still an active player, Mary developed a love for fantasy books and arts. After years of writing short stories in several genres, she found her niche in fantasy romance. Writers such as Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman, Terry Brooks, and Richard Knaak, as well as Guy Gavriel Kay's "The Fionavar Tapestry", have been wonderfully inspiring works. Even horror author Dean Koontz is an influence.When not writing, Mary adores time with her family, especially playing various types of games and watching movies. Those rare moments when she's alone, she listens to music while reading, with either one or both of her mini dachshunds curled up with her.
