Mary was born on November 15, 1953, in Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada. She is a freelance creative writer who now resides in Brantford, Ontario with her husband, Adel (Ed).

Mary’s love for the written word began at a very early age. Daydreamer was the description her teachers would write on her report cards – little did they know that the seeds of great writings to come were germinating in the caverns of Mary’s mind!

In March 2006, Mary completed a freelance journalism course at the University of Waterloo, after which she began writing freelance articles and a fictional short-story column for the Brantford Expositor.

Mary has published four poetry anthologies (see poetry page) and a collection of short stories (see short story page). She also writes children’s stories, novels, plays, and songs.

Mary is active in the writing community. For several years she ran a creative writing program, “Just Imagine,” for the Grand Erie District School Board. Mary is always encouraging those who have a love for writing to follow their dreams, and she has assisted some in the publishing of their own books.
