When it comes to writing romance, historical or contemporary, Mary McBride is a natural. What else would anyone expect from someone whose parents met on a blind date on Valentine's Day, and who met her own husband-whose middle name happens to be Valentine!-on February 14th, as well? She lives in Saint Louis, Missouri, with her husband and two sons. Mary loves to hear from readers. You can write to her c/o P.O.Box 411202, Saint Louis, MO 63141, or contact her on-line at McBride101@aol.com.
