Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
In addition to my 18 self-published books, I’ve appeared in “Best Life Stories” from Readers’ Digest as well as magazines and blogs. My own blog is maryblowers.com
I live in the Midwest in a 1940s home with my husband, a dog and two cats.
When I’m not writing I enjoy reading, gardening, and walking for fitness. I’m a long-time student of natural health methods and a certified Master Herbalist, Nutrition Consultant, Holistic Health Practitioner and Weight Management Coach.
My writing has been compared to that of Elizabeth Gilbert and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Always creative and deep in thought, my books are innovative and unexpected.
