Maria McKenzie is the author of the Amazon bestseller The Governor’s Sons. Of that story Kirkus Reviews said, "Realistic, multifaceted characters make for an especially engaging novel."

Maria is currently at work on Masquerade: Book II of The Unchained Trilogy. Look for it in late 2012. Maria lives in Cincinnati with her husband and two boys. Before becoming a small business owner and author, Maria worked in Georgia and North Carolina as a librarian for several years.

She attended Wittenberg University and received a bachelor’s degree in English, and later graduated from Atlanta University with a master’s in Library Science.

Maria reads historical romance, romantic suspense, thrillers, true crime and biographies. As a foodie, she likes to cook and bake, as long as the recipes aren’t too time consuming (so she’ll have more time to write and more time to read), and she loves old movies, history, museums and antiquing. Maria is also into fitness and enjoys running. During her morning runs, she comes up with story ideas, as long as she’s not listening to an audio-book!
