Maggie Shayne

Biography

Like many authors, Maggie Shayne started her career during a long night caring for a fussy child. Out of reading material, she began working on her own story. Since then, she's published over forty novels in addition to writing scripts for Guiding Light and As The World Turns. She is also a practitioner of Wicca, and often works the religion's themes of peace and empowerment into her work.

Her honors include various Romantic Times Magazine Career Achievement awards, the National Readers' Choice Award, and a RITA (in the fine tradition of Susan Lucci, Maggie Shayne was nominated for the RITA twelve times before winning), for novella "Her Best Enemy". Her novel Eternity was optioned by the motion picture industry.

As an author for Harlequin American Romance, Maggie Shayne published one title.
