Mary Mecham writes high stakes, high swoon, no spice romantasy and fairy tale retellings packed full of adventure and romances. Her greatest joy is writing snarky banter and morally grey characters.

She is a born and raised Texan with a love of theater and books overshadowed only by her passion for disability advocacy. Her favorite food is chips and queso, her favorite holiday is April Fool's Day, and her favorite trope is enemies to lovers.

When she isn't writing, Mary enjoys spending time with her family and trying out new experiences, from fire breathing and axe throwing to trapeze flying and power paragliding.

She currently lives in Texas with her husband and three children.

Quotes by Mary Mecham  (?)

“The question you should be asking yourself is ‘what can I do?’ You know the problem; now figure out how you can fix it.”
Mary Mecham, Becoming Hook

“That tree can grow immensely high.” Then he stooped down and plucked a beautiful blue primrose that was growing to the side of the trail. “This flower will never grow as tall and majestic as that oak tree. No matter how hard it tries, it will never be an oak tree. But it is no less beautiful, and no less valuable. Some people would try and force a flower to become a tree. But I think we should appreciate the flower for simply being a flower.”
Mary Mecham, Poisoned: Snow White's Story

“Careful there, bird boy. You’ll steal my heart away with romantic talk like that.”
Mary Mecham, Assassin of Fire and Sacrifice
