Mary Corrales

I have lived my entire life in the southwest. I am the youngest in a family of three, growing up with two older brothers has given me a special tender toughness.

I have loved writing romances since buying my first romance novel over eighteen years ago. I have a special love for the paranormal, futuristic, and erotic romances, which I try to combine in my writing whenever possible.

Professional Background

I hold two associates degrees, one in psychology. I am also schooled in criminal justice. I spend almost five years working as a volunteer detention officer in a city jail. This has led me to my current occupation in security.

I am a current member of Romance Writers of America (RWA), which I recommend for any upcoming romance writer.

Personal Interests

I have a 15 year old cockatiel named Kato, who's been with me since he was featherless and could fit in the palm of my hand.

I enjoy rock music, especially Nickelback, whom I have drooled over in concerts many times.

I like gardening, when the weather isn't too hot. I mostly plant tomatoes and bell peppers, which are the easiest to grow. I once tried to grow an orchid plant but it died for some reason...not related to my gardening skills, I'm sure.
