- About Me and My Book:
- Born in Scotland, Maureen emigrated to Canada at the age of seven. A University of Toronto graduate, she convinced the federal government to hire a Fine Arts specialist as a computer programmer. Three years later, Maureen graduated again, this time to full-time homemaker and mom, raising two wonderful sons. Plunging back into the business world, she and her second husband started a management consulting company. This marriage survived because she and her husband pledged never to work on the same project again. Ever.
After a century in the consulting world, Maureen grew weary of wearing snappy power suits, squeezing into panty hose, and fighting rush hour traffic. She made a life-changing decision. She wanted to write books. Not dry, boring, technical treatises, but fresh, funny romantic suspense novels.
Between exotic trips, Maureen and her husband live in Ottawa where she volunteers for an addiction family program, plays bridge, and slaves over her computer to improve her writing skills.
My first book, a paranormal romantic suspense, THE JAGUAR LEGACY, hit the shelves in March, 2007.
THE JAGUAR LEGACY is a vivid story of romance and humor, peril and suspense, betrayal and trust, healing and redemption. I call it strong enough for a man ... but written for a woman.
What if she had lived before? What if she had created a legacy of betrayal that spanned several millennia? What if passion could heal her soul and love could release her from bondage?
Despite baffling panic attacks that devastated her career, journalist Charley Underhill barges in on a Mexican archaeological dig, bent on sniffing out a juicy exposé that will restore her reputation and earn enough money for her mother’s life-saving treatment. Haunted by past betrayals, Dr. Alistair Kincaid isn’t about to let a smart-mouthed reporter leak word of his latest discovery, an ancient Olmec city, to the press. A battle of wills and wits ensues. Strands from a past life intertwine with the present, drawing the couple into a vortex of chilling evil where danger stalks the jungle on velvet paws. Torn between redeeming her soul and betraying the man she loves, Charley faces impossible choices.
