Maureen Bonatch dreamt of becoming a Solid Gold Dancer. When the show ended, she continued dancing in her living room but pursued other dreams. Just a small town girl, Maureen leads a double life. She lives in a magical world writing Paranormal Cozy Mystery as M.L. Bonatch, and Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance as Maureen Bonatch. All of her stories are full of fun, magic, and mayhem. When she's not busy writing or doing nurse-things, she's a mom to twin daughters, bicycling in the beautiful woods of PA with her hubby, doing the bidding of a feisty Shih Tzu, and dancing as much as possible. She believes music can be paired with any mood, laughter is contagious, and that caffeine and wine are essential for survival. 

Maureen's Hobbies

Reading & Writing—of course! Also bicycling, backseat motorcycle babe, watching hockey & movies, enjoying tequila & wine-tasting (usually in her living room—where she still dances) and laughing. Maureen is also a Healthcare Freelance Writer. View her writing portfolio at Contently. Want to hire Maureen to write for you? Contact her here
