Maureen McKade has been making up stories since the moment she learned to read, write and string sentences together. Her first book, "Winter Hearts", published in 1997 was a finalist in the Romance Writers of America's (RWA) Golden Heart contest, then a finalist in RWA's RITA for best first book. Since then, she's written thirteen more books and a short story for an anthology.

She taught middle school science for three years then held a variety of jobs--bookstore clerk, administrative assistant, customer service manager, department manager, and pharmacy technician--until she settling on writing. (Or, more aptly, until writing settled on her.)

Maureen and her husband, a retired Air Force officer, now live on 40 nature-filled acres in southwest

Now as Ebooks!

After being out of the writing world for a few years, I am jumping back in by first getting some of my backlist re-launched in ebook format.

WINTER HEARTS, my very first book and the one closest to my heart (and with a shiny new cover) is now available at Amazon Kindle Store for $2.99. http://tinyurl.com/bpa8mlm

A DIME NOVEL HERO, my second book also with a brand new cover, at Amazon for $2.99.

Quotes by Maureen McKade  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“How was she to endure knowing he was in town these next two weeks, without throwing herself into his arms again? She would hide in her home and not come out until the day of the wedding. Yes, that was the only solution.”
Maureen McKade, Outlaw's Bride

“He’d arrived too late. She had told him that Dr. Murphy was seeing her, but he hadn’t expected the man to move in so quickly after he’d left. He admired the doctor, though he’d be hard-pressed to say he liked him. How could he, knowing Mattie would be in”
Maureen McKade, Outlaw's Bride

“Clint would remain here until he was well enough to travel. She tried to tamp down the happiness within her, but couldn’t. It had been too long since something had made her feel this elated, and she was going to hold on to the feeling as long as possible.”
Maureen McKade, Outlaw's Bride
