Author Marie Maness loves writing golden retriever MMCs and strong FMCs across genres. Literature, writing, and history have always been her biggest passions. Combining them all into one is a dream come true for the small-town author.
Born in Central Kentucky, she currently lives in South Central Kentucky with her husband and four children, and loves the quiet life the area brings. Marie hopes her writing will encourage people everywhere to embrace their bodies and sexuality, to find pleasure in all of life’s aspects, and to remember that love is infinite.
