Michigan native and graduate of Wayne State University, Maria incorporates a love for politics with a passion for all things haunted into her writings and daily life. An educational background in Mortuary Science and growing up in a small boat town surrounded by 3 cemeteries created the perfect breeding ground for this emerging horror fiction author. Personal experiences with the paranormal and hearing accounts of a decades old Michigan urban legend since childhood made writing her breakout novel "CRONE, A Scarlet St. James Novel" all too easy.
