edit data

Maria A. Perez was born in Yonkers, NY, and grew up in New York City. She also lived in Puerto Rico and now resides in Boca Raton, Florida. She holds a Bachelor’s in Business and has spent a successful career in Corporate America working in Accounting and Finance. Early retirement has allowed Maria to focus on her dream of writing and becoming a published author. She is married with two young adult sons and a labradoodle daughter. Maria enjoys reading all genres, although she’s partial to dystopian, space opera and romance series such as The Hunger Games, The Expanse and Outlander. A diehard “Trekkie” and Star Wars fan, she is fascinated with the possibility of what is out there in unexplored space and the potential of the human race.

Looking For ARC readers

Friends, I am looking for ARC readers for Rising From The Curse, the third and final book in The Curse of Sotkari Ta romantic space opera series. Although the books can be enjoyed as a standalone, they are meant to be read in consecutive order to experience the characters' evolution. I'm using Book Sirens for this process. If you're interested click here: https://booksirens.com/book/VZRIMTP/S... Read more of this blog post »
