Author Biography

Mary Campisi should have known she'd become a writer when at age thirteen she began changing the ending to all the books she read. It took several years and a number of jobs, including registered nurse, receptionist in a swanky hair salon, accounts payable clerk, and practice manager in an OB/GYN office, for her to rediscover writing. Enter a mouse-less computer, a floppy disk, and a dream large enough to fill a zip drive. The rest of the story lives on in every book she writes. When she's not working on her craft or keeping up with the lives of five adult children, Mary's digging in the dirt with her flowers and herbs, cooking, reading, walking her rescue Lab mix, Cooper, or on the perfect day, riding off into the sunset with her very own "hero" husband on his Ultra Limited aka Harley. Mary has published with Kensington, Carina Press, and The Wild Rose Press. website: www.marycampisi.com e-mail: mary@marycampisi.com twitter: https: //twitter.com/#!/MaryCampisi blog: http: //www.marycampisi.com/blog/ facebook: http: //www.facebook.com/marycampisibo
