Raised in the south, Wall Street Journal and USA TODAY bestselling author MariaLisa deMora learned about the magic of books at an early age. Every summer, she would spend hours in the local library, devouring books of every genre. Self-described as a book-a-holic, she says, “I’ve always loved to read, but then I discovered writing, and found I adored that, too. For reading…if nothing else is available, I’ve been known to read the back of the cereal box.”

deMora has penned a wide range of stories across multiple established series—motorcycle club romance, rock and roll romance, hockey romance, cozy mystery, vampire romance, veteran repatriation, and time travel—along with dark romantic suspense, standalones, and a legal thriller. Her website is packed with links and extras: character interviews, playlists, poetry, and trailer videos.

She’s a wanna-be hiker working a “bucket list” of trails. Knobstone: completed in four days mid-April 2014—whoooo. The Appalachian Trail is on that list too; she started a section hike with the first 51 miles in Georgia in May 2014, launching from the southern terminus on Springer Mountain. Now and then she looks west toward the PCT, but says that’s a level of difficult she’s not yet ready to tackle. Here’s a link to her trail journal.

She embraces her inner geek, having worked in tech for a publishing company for a couple of decades. A sometime PC gamer, she still plays EverQuest after all these years. She says, “What can I say, I’m loyal (see above, I’m an Oilers fan). My oldest character there is more than fifteen years old. I can’t abandon her now! Yeah, I play a little WoW, and have a coupla toons there, too.”

On music: “I love music of nearly any genre—jazz, country, rock, alt rock, metal, classical, bluegrass, rap, hip hop…you name it, I listen to it. I can often be seen dancing through the house in the early mornings. But I really, REALLY love live music. My favorite thing is seeing bands in small, dive bars [read: small, intimate venues]. If said bar [venue] has a good selection of premium tequila, that’s a plus!”
