Mary Brendan, instead of going to
university, started working as a clerk and then a personal secretary—jobs that
provided her with the typing skills she’s needed as a writer. Always a keen
reader of historical romance novels, she decided to try her hand at writing a regency
novel during her youngest son’s afternoon naps. What started as an indulgence soon
developed into a highly enjoyable part-time occupation. Following a good
response from readers, a subsequent Regency novel was commissioned and appeared
in print the following year. However, throughout her sons’ childhoods, she took
a break from writing to assist her husband in his property development and
building firms. When her sons were into their late teens, she resumed writing
historical romances. She works part-time for a local library, helps her husband
run his businesses, and is setting aside time for her primary interest:
writing. |
