Mary Cantell

Author Bio:

Mary will never be a mathematician," were MARY CANTELL's third-grade teacher's words to her parents at the PTA meeting upon their meeting Mrs. Langen. Taking this as a cue, the eight-year-old wannabe writer adopted the self-fulfilling prophecy and began pursuing her natural love of language. Graduating with a B.A. in English Writing, she later became a radio/TV broadcaster and sidelined as a newspaper columnist. Her day job found her reporting Philadelphia's traffic conditions inside an 8x8 foot booth. It was not so glamorous--at least, not from her vantage point. When she was laid off after nearly sixteen years in the news biz (and lost her newspaper column as well, all in the same week), it was obviously a blessing to have the opportunity to write full time. She is the author of debut novel, Her Glass Heart, along with Untying the Shadows and Beyond the Roses. Her freelance writing has found publication in various magazines, newspapers, and book anthologies, and she is currently working on her fourth novel. Visit her webpage: marycantell.com.
