Background: Mary grew up in the Puget Sound region near Seattle, graduated from Garfield High School in that city, and worked for nearly 11 years at the University of Washington, in various health sciences departments. It was there that she also studied expository writing and honed my skills in that discipline. For five years, she wrote and produced a weekly science magazine program for KRAB-FM, a large public radio station. In 1985, she moved to Salem, Ore., where she worked in several departments. In 1990, she moved to Forest Grove, Ore., where she started a plant nursery, became a beekeeper and then a master gardener and master food preserver. She had already begun her writing career and has since written (and had published) numerous articles on a wide variety of subjects. She was a feature article writer for RURALITE magazine for three years, wrote a monthly column for the Forest-Grove News-Times for new Hispanic residents, as well as miscellaneous fiction and non-fiction stories and articles.
