Maria the Author

While I've been telling stories my entire life, it wasn't until I became "Gigi" to my grandkids that I decided to put pen to paper (or type words on a screen as it is today). From that was born two best selling early reader books and one best selling novel... so far.

Make sure you stay tuned. Not only do Luna and Sol have many more adventures to come, but I also have many more characters who have stories to tell!

Where It All Began...

When I was a kid, telling stories came easy to me, but writing was a challenge. I would avoid reading in front of anyone or writing for anyone because I always seemed to make mistakes. I found later in life it was because I was dyslexic. While I have found my way through that obstacle, it wasn't until I became a grandmother and realized how much I would regret not telling my stories, especially to my grandkids, that I decided it was time to put my stories down on paper so they could live on. Thanks to some very supportive people in my life, my husband being the main one, I was able to create the first of many Luna and Sol adventures, which has opened a flood gate of characters to share.

The Stories of Luna and Sol...

Luna & Sol were born out of inspiration from my kids and grandkids. Two kids growing up in a loving, blended and diverse family, Luna & Sol face the normal, but daunting realities of elementary school. As they navigate friendship, family and life, they are surrounded by their family to help them learn and grow. Join Luna & Sol as they learn about the people and the world around them.

The Drama of Maria's Novels...

My first best-selling novel was actually based on a character that has lived with me since I was a teenager. Amazingly, once I put Sophia out there and told her story, it opened a floodgate of new characters that are just dying to get out. From globe trotting spies to famous millionaire moguls (and possibly more from Sophia...), the stories inside my novels will hopefully whisk you away in laughter, tears, suspense, and every other emotional rollercoaster you could ever want.
