Mary raised her family in central Texas. When she and her husband were able to indulge in early retirement they chose beautiful southeast Oklahoma where she now enjoys her long time dream of telling stories. Mary knows she and her husband, who is also her Knight in Shining Armor, Prince Charming, and Warrior Hero all rolled into one, made the right choice. Mary finds this the perfect place to sit on her porch, coffee mug in hand, with her husband's arm about her shoulders as they watch the morning mist rise up through the mountaintops and talk about all the possible adventures in which her characters could find themselves.
