Aimed to prove her brother wrong when she joined the Army on his dare. A few decades later, she not only confirmed that she could, contrary to his warning, make it through basic training, her combat boots took her to the butt-end of nowhere and back countless times and she lived to tell about it … or write about it as it turned out.
Unafraid of genre jumping, Mary has co-authored two memoirs, a three-book mystery series, a four-novella erotic romance series, and is soon to publish the second book in a planned three-book urban fantasy series.
Mary retired from her career as an Army Public Affairs officer in 2020 and highly recommends retirement to anyone who works too hard for a living. Upon retirement, Mary packed up her two cats and moved back to her home state of Minnesota where she takes tap dancing lessons, serves on the board of several nonprofits and enjoys taking an afternoon nap when she can.
