About the Author

Having hailed from the Midwest then lived on both coasts, Mary Hardcastle is happily settled in Baltimore. Like many "boomers" her career path has followed some twists and turns. She studied plant physiology, enjoyed success as a teacher and indie filmmaker, and has recently returned to her environmental roots to promote city parks. She is currently finishing her second novel, Kidnapped, a time travel epic that sends a disillusioned Next Gen law clerk back to the early 1830's where she meets a young Abe Lincoln just beginning his career.
