Mary Deal:  Sitemap
	Mary has lived in Great Britain, the Caribbean and now resides on Kauai in Hawaii. She has written since her teens but more seriously since about 1990. Influences include Ernest Hemingway because his stories reflected his own depression and taught her about how writers themselves can be seen in the stories they write. Also John Steinbeck for his descriptive style and Joyce Carol Oates because she understands not only the psychology of a story but particularly the psychology of the minds of the characters she creates.  more...
