Bio:
Mary E. Roach is an author of thrillers and mysteries and a fan of all things spooky. (But ask about true crime podcasts at your own risk. There are hot takes).
When Mary is not writing stories for and about powerful girls, she can be found teaching martial arts, baking an unreasonable amount of cookies, or taking off on thru-hikes through the wilderness of northern Minnesota.
