Who am I?
Mary DeSantis is a writing and story coach specializing in fiction (primarily fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, and romance for audiences aged middle grade and up). She holds an MFA in Writing Popular Fiction from Seton Hill University, which she combines with a lifetime of table-top role-playing games to help authors create immersive stories that put readers right in the middle of it all. Her favorite book is A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle, which she first read when she was ten and still feels like a new adventure every time she rereads it. And her favorite TTRPG character she ever played is a tossup between her current bard and a rogue she named McStabbins ‘cause she stabs things (and ‘cause it annoyed the gamemaster).
