About the blog

Mary Drover finds adventure along the New England coastline, deep in the White Mountains, and always on a yoga mat. She spends her days in an office, her nights drinking tea, and all the in-between moments snuggling her sister cats or writing about magic. She has a BFA in Creative Writing & English from the University of Maine at Farmington, practices Tibetan Buddhism, has too many candles, and cannot stop buying crystals or plants. She is a registered yoga teacher, a part-time witch, and was an astronaut in a previous life.

What do I write?

Mostly adult urban & high fantasy, a few sad contemporaries, lots of space references, and probably too much baking. 95% of them are magical with the exception of two stubborn teenage boys. All of them are LGBTQIA+ and diverse. They feature the likes of dragons, faeries, witches, apocalypses, zombies, vampires, and mermaids.

My current writing projects can be found here.
