About Shelf Life

"Let us remember: One book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world." ~Malala Yousafzi.

While getting new books into the hands of children, Mary hopes to foster a love for reading and support literacy in her local public school.

Shelf Life is more than an author platform for Mary. It’s a place for readers and writers to connect, get updates on publications, and receive notifications on future events, all while promoting literacy.

Shelf Life will engage readers with a diverse range of literary fiction, literary nonfiction, and historical fiction. As an author platform, I will recommend books on craft that have been valuable to me and share writing through a monthly newsletter. Through initiatives with Shelf Life, I will continue to support literacy by purchasing new books for children in a local Title 1 school and will encourage readers to do the same in their communities.

Sum of Loss is a memoir, but my other inspirations come from memory and history, while others are simply generated from imagined experiences or conflicts.
