Mary Vee is an avid reader of mystery, suspense, psychological suspense, historical, and classic books.

Rock climbing, white-water rafting, zip lining, and hiking top Mary's list of ways to enjoy a day. These activities require lots of traveling to exciting places. For some crazy reason, Mary’s drama fiction characters don’t always appreciate the dangerous and often scary side of her favorite activities. Unbelievable.

Mary Vee's website: MaryJVeeStoryteller.com offers solutions for busy writers and readers. She has finaled in several writing contests, including the International Indie Book Excellence Writers Award and the BRMCW Award.

Gone Before Goodbye by Reese Witherspoon and Harlan Coben is a gasping read. We slip into story mode, then when it looks like a normal tale will run its course, the first unimaginable happens...the very definition of a suspense/thriller. Bravo!
