Maureen Hardegree

Although Georgia author Maureen Hardegree concedes to having all the usual baggage of a middle child, she is NOT a ghost handler. She does, however, believe in connecting with her inner teenager and in feeding her active imagination—it likes Italian food and chocolate. When she’s not writing, she’s working on costumes for the Northeast Atlanta Ballet . . . or doing the bidding of her husband, daughter, and cats Pixie and Turnip Ann.

Maureen is a past president of Georgia Romance Writers. She is also a longtime contributor to the Mossy Creek Hometown anthologies, and her next short story will be published in Homecoming in Mossy Creek (BelleBooks September 2010).
