- About Me
- My favorite things are writing, oil painting, swimming/snorkeling, photography, ballroom dancing, yoga, and traveling. When I have time, I love to putter in the yard and go for long walks around this paradise known as Kauai.
In addition to novels, I write nonfiction, short stories, and poetry. Some of my articles about writing and other topics in general can be seen in many places on the Net. I’ve just been invited and accepted to be Associate Editor for a glossy print magazine, Mississippi Crow, where I have been a contributing writer since they began publication. My extensive and growing Web site, which provides writing advice at no charge, is http://www.writeanygenre.com.
- My Published Books or Favorite Books
- My published novels are The Tropics, The Ka, and River Bones. Am presently polishing my next novel, after which two sequels to River Bones will be completed.

The Tropics: Child of a Storm - Caught in a Rip - Hurricane Secret is a suspense novel and my first published. Tropics is a trilogy of entwined novellas about dramatic ocean survival and island living that shatters the myths of stereotypical islands of paradise. The stories take place in both the Caribbean and Hawaiian Islands.
Prior to publication, one of the novellas, Caught in a Rip, was workshopped on Francis Ford Coppola's Zoetrope, received high ratings, and was held by the editors for a year. More on that, as well as an excerpt and rave reviews for the novel, on Mary's Web site:
The Ka, a paranormal suspense, takes place in both modern-day Valley of the Queens, Egypt as well as during Tutankhamon's 18th Dynasty. The manuscript was completed after four years of research and another four years of writing, re-researching, rewriting, and polishing.

My Pushcart Prize Nomination
Publishers who publish stories and poetry can nominate up to six pieces of published writing per year to submit for a Pushcart Prize. While many publishers do this, being chosen out of all the pieces each publishes per year is, in itself, an honor.
I received a message this morning from Silver Boomer Books that they have nominated my flash story, “The L… Continue

After the Book Tour
Later, Susan Reeve, Supervising Librarian at the Rio Vista Library, sent this letter:
"Thank you for bringing an excellent program to the Rio Vista Library. Twenty-four people attending is quite a crowd for us. I learned a lot about your craft and the discipline it requires. And you are clearly inspired, yet modest about your gifts."
The next evening after the library function, I attended a clas… Continue
