Mary Reed McCall (31 page)

MARY REED McCALL once studied at the University of Leningrad and considered a career in national security. However, she soon realized her calling lay elsewhere and turned to her love of books for inspiration, eventually becoming a high school English teacher and a romance writer. She began work on her first novel one week after completing her M.A. in English literature.

The award-winning author of six novels for Avon Books, Mary lives in upstate New York with her family, sharing an often crazy but always wonderful life. Please visit her on the web at
