Mary O'Connor
AUTHOR NAME writes Contemporary and Futuristic Romance.
Having been spoon-fed the Narnia tales and raised on Laura Ingalls Wilder (favorite books had Mary AND Almanzo), Mary O'Connor has written stories since she could form words and sentences. Though the plots have become a little more complicated since she was seven, and the subject matter a little more mature, the writing bug is still burning inside of her.
She's always loved exotic locales, so her historical romances tend to have connections to far away places while the heroes and heroines often call England, or places that seem so like England, home. As the saying goes, she wasn’t born in Texas, but she got there as fast as she could. Raised in College Station as the seventh of eight children of two university professors, she took only a one-year detour to attend college in Virginia before returning to Aggieland and her high school sweetheart and real life hero, Tim. They married a week after graduating from Texas A&M and then moved to Houston, Texas. Armed with a journalism degree, she spent two years in public relations, then six in teaching before becoming a stay-at-home mom. Three children later, she has it all—including a little more time to write . . . naptime.
