Hi! I'm Maria -
I guess you could say I was born with an active imagination. Combine that with a love for reading, and the possibilities are endless.
My Mom read all kinds of books to my brother and me when we were young. Some of our all-time favorites were by Dr. Seuss – Green Eggs & Ham, and Sneetches on Beaches.
Although my formal education is in Corporate Wellness and Nutrition, my real love is writing. I started out as an inspirational author and speaker for adults. Now I've widened my circle to include kids.
No matter what the age of my audience, my goal is the same:
To share God's truths and make an eternal difference.
I live in the muggy South with my husband, two retrievers, and two Maine coon kitties – the perfect mix to fuel my creativity for years to come!
Fun Facts About Me:
*One of my favorite things to do as a kid was come up with adventures for our stuffed animals to act out.
*We couldn't have pets when I was growing up because my brother was allergic to them. I'm making up for that now!
*I won the Distinguished Student Science Award when I was in 9th grade.
*There are still several boxes in our basement I haven’t unpacked since moving to our house 15 years ago!
*Even though my degree is in the health field, I have the biggest sweet tooth ever!
*When I’m not writing I enjoy: reading, shopping (especially for shoes!), exercising, and baking.
