Mary Anne, a native of Mercedes, Texas, has spent most of her life in Georgia. Her admiration for mystery authors like Agatha Christie, Anne Perry, Caroline Graham, and Elizabeth Peters led her to finally heed the voices in her head and pen her own series of traditional mysteries featuring Detective Charlie McClung.

Mary Anne feels life should be lived to its fullest whether you’re 10 or 100. She's always up for a ride on a shopping cart and dances with youthful exuberance. The main female protagonist in the Charlie McClung Mysteries is a vivid reflection of the author's vibrant spirit.

Mary Anne and her husband, along with their ill-tempered tuxedo cat Gertrude, call Canton, GA, home.

Mary Edwards No. I am not a member of RWA. I don't like driving at night. And I don't know if my genre would be considered romance. Genre is a murky thing for me. I really don't know where I fit in.


Pamela Mason Will I see you at the RWA book sale & signing Weds?
