BIO:
Mary has been a storyteller for as long as she can remember. She made up stories for the other children and created the details for their “play like” or “let’s pretend” games. Sometimes the details were so real they scared Mary. Mary was born in Augusta, Georgia to two eighteen-year olds. She taught language arts for fifteen years. Now she tutors, teaches writers, and edits. Her inner English teacher loves the editing part. Mary helped her husband photograph hundreds of weddings. Her daughter is her cover artist now.
Something unique or unusual not in your bio: "I actually love to edit. Nothing interesting. Well, maybe that I hiked into the Grand Canyon."

Ally: What was the inspiration behind Cheerleader Dad?
MARY: Actually, I heard a news piece about a woman who hired someone to kill a cheerleader because that would open a spot on the squad that had rejected her daughter. This was a middle school squad. I love The Parent Trap. Soooo.
Ally: What traits make the perfect book boyfriend?
MARY: Thoughtful, protective to a fault, funny without meaning to be and wonderful muscles. I like men who are cut!
Ally: What made you decide to publish? How did you go about it?
MARY: After I retired from teaching I started writing the stories my grandmama told us about her teen years. Then I started reading romances. Then I dreamed the beginning of Protective Instincts, but I called it Teacher, Teacher. After many rejections I decided to self-publish. The fabulous Deborah Smith suggested I do that for The Gift.
Ally: What's your next project? Will it be released in 2016?
MARY: I am working on a stripper book, The Stripper's revenge, and The Cost of Deception, a romantic suspense.
Ally: Try your hand at these quick answer questions:
