Maria lives in Minnesota despite the frozen winters. Actually, she prefers snow drifts and icicles over summer and all that sweat running everywhere. She lives with her husband and little family, which includes a couple lazy cats who make great lap warmers. You can usually find her whishing that she lived in a secret cabin in the woods where she could be a hermit reading and writing all of the time. Instead she lives the suburban life where she pretends to her neighbors and the other moms around that she doesn’t swear like a sailor, have hidden tattoos, and love a good glass bottle of wine. She absolutely believes in unicorns and ghosts and hopes vampires and monsters are real too. She's a coffee-in-the-morning and wine-in-the-evening kind of person, preferably with a nap in between. Maria prefers cats over dogs, books over people, and late nights over early mornings. She probably shouldn’t talk to anyone until she’s had her first cup of coffee. And if you ever want to hang out with her, you’ll have to be game for a horror movie or just a quick run to target for two (hundred) little things. Also, you couldn’t pay her to be in her twenties again; Thirties is where it’s at. She's a creative, mouthy, introverted, proud bisexual, highly-sensitive INFJ, Slytherpuff, dork with a sweet-tooth.
Maria devours books, reading mostly in bed or listening to audio books in the car. Writing has been one of her passions for pretty much her whole life. So creativity is a necessity for her, always. After working in the mental health field for almost a decade, she's now living her dream as a stay-at-home writer, kiddo wrangler, professional snuggler, and constantly-tired-person. When it comes to her writing, she specializes in dark and twisted thrillers or gritty, angsty contemporary romances. But no matter the genre, she always prefers writing deeply flawed characters with dysfunctional relationships. She's pretty sure the whole "unlikable character" thing is a conspiracy because every character she loves have been labeled this way. Ridiculous. And because of this, she's pretty much found it impossible to write anything without at least a little mayhem.
Maria will always believe that though not every story is for her, and her stories aren't for everyone, every story has a reader.
All Meagan wants is a normal teenage life. One filled with boys, girlfriends, and drama. But Meagan's a teenage girl with a sensitive heart, and emotions that seem bigger than her. She struggles with depression and harmful thoughts that feel like they're rotting her from the inside out. Every day feels harder than the last until she finds a way to cope.
With each tiny cut into her skin, Meagan's pain bleeds out of her body and into the world. But she controls the flow and the pain, the pain no longer controls her.
Until she loses control and her secret is discovered.
Soon, Meagan's habit spirals out of control and with each obstacle she crosses, she's forced to face the truth and her demons or lose her life to them.
IN THE REARVIEW is told through the unique format of Meagan's poems, journal entries, and narrative. It's a story of pain, heartbreak, healing, and hope - a journey of one teenager's journey through mental health.
If you like unique coming of age stories, a bit on the melancholy side, told in diverse ways, In the Rearview might be your next favorite book. It'll keep you reading way too late, and you may need a box of tissues nearby.
It appeals to lovers of teen and young adult fiction, poetry, literary fiction, fans of Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, Cut by Patricia McCormick, and Amanda Lovelace.
