About Mary D. Brooks

Mary is an award-winning author of historical fiction, romance and urban fantasy stories. Mary works as a graphic and web designer - creating art for her colouring books and designing web sites. Mary has won numerous awards for her fiction, but one of the highlights of her life (and one of the biggest thrills) was to have her first novel "In the Blood of the Greeks" and the non-fiction "In the Blood of the Greeks: The Illustrated Companion" showcased in the Jewish Museum of Greece's book collection about the holocaust in Greece during WW2. Mary lives in Australia and when she's not writing, creating art or designing sites, she is a voracious reader of historical novels (especially those set during WW1 and WW2) and murder mysteries!
