Maureen
has always made up stories. Her mother called it lying,
her teachers creative talent. Sidetracked by a persistent
practical side, Maureen needed a few years to see the
light and channel her energy into writing novels. After
pummeling her sensible side into submission, she quit
her career in finance and hasn't looked back.
Aside from books and writing, Maureen is
passionate about art, dance, films, fine handcrafted objects,
and shoes. Maureen goes (with her shoes) to a lot of movies
in Toronto, Canada.
