Margaret Mallory

Margaret Mallory started out as a Midwest girl. Except for two years in Africa, she grew up in small towns in northern Michigan. She received degrees from Michigan State University and the University of Michigan Law School, and then headed to Washington, DC to save the world. When that failed, she packed up and moved to the Pacific Northwest with a vague notion of finding herself a park ranger with a dog. The man she met was not a park ranger, but he was willing to get the dog.

Margaret spent many rewarding--but rather wearing--years in jobs devoted to improving services for abused children and care for the elderly. Not long ago, she surprised every single person who knew her by abandoning her legal career--and steady job--to write novels. She is thrilled to spend her days writing stories of love and adventure, rather than go to endless meetings. After all, she has always loved romantic tales, heroic deeds, and happy endings. And, at long last, she can satisfy her passion for justice by punishing the bad and rewarding the worthy--in the pages of her novels
