Maria Dean

Maria Dean is an author from Yorkshire in England where she lives with her husband, two boys, and her faithful Boston terrier. Her short stories have appeared in various publications and range from fantasy and science-fiction to the supernatural, but for the long haul, her heart remains rooted in romance. An avid reader, she can be known to devour a book in a day especially if there's a twist in the tale or a swoon-worthy main character. She's more than prepared to have her heart broken by a good book, just as long as it's put back together again by the happily-ever-after. When she isn't reading or writing, she can be found walking her dog in her local woods, usually dreaming up her next novel or listening to an audiobook.
