Welcome to Mary's Garden! Hope your holidays are safe and joyful. Before we move on, let's find some winter garden tips:
Properly winterizing the garden will not only help plants survive the short gray days and bitter nights
For gardeners who live in areas that experience frost, freezing temperatures or snow, here’s a checklist to winterize your garden.
Know your USDA zone. Understanding the average annual extreme minimum winter temperature is important in creating an action plan. That information is available for every county in the country on the USDA website. To find the likely dates of your first frost and last anticipated freeze, contact your local agricultural extension service.
Now... The Beckett's!
I love to have visit the city or scene
of my stories. However, that is not always possible. I was lucky with the
Beckett’s. I love New York City and have visited many times with friends or
stayed with our son who lived in Brooklyn for several years.
The Beckett’s are like my family, I
know them. I know their neighborhoods, their favorite places to shop. A couple
of the books were set in D. C. and the Napa Valley. Both places I’ve had the
privilege to visit, so again I know their neighborhoods, etc.
The stories are about one family and
each sibling has their own story. And at the center of them are their parents
who they lovingly refer to as The Elders.
I have had so much fun with these
books. Please enjoy the two videos.

The
Beckett’s have a strong sense of family and honor.
When
one of their own is threatened, their bond is as strong as a badge of steel.

Mary’s bio
Mary lives in Magna,
a little town west of Salt Lake City, Utah. Together with her husband, she has
six grown children, and six wonderful grandsons and five beautiful granddaughters.
She loves to spend time with family and friends--she includes good books as
friends!
Mary and her husband
love to travel, especially to the Caribbean for relaxing, and Italy for the
wine. And most recently she discovered she was Irish and Scottish, of course
they had to visit Ireland and Scotland. Mary fell in love with both, but the
green hills of Ireland felt like home.
With the experience from the exotic places she has visited, she is able
to fill her books with colorful descriptions of cities, painting a colorful
backdrop for her characters. One of her favorite US destinations is New
York/Brooklyn, where her beloved Beckett's live. When she visits, she can
wander their neighborhoods, favorite parks, and visit their favorite pub, Putnum's.
They are avid
concert ‘Ho’s’! Yes, they pretty much want to do them all. They love outdoor
amphitheaters the best and attend as many during the warmer months as possible.
Mary writes mostly
romantic suspense, romance, women's fiction, and she has just begun to dabble
in young adult mystery. She is a member of Romance Writers of America (RWA).
During her writing career she has been a conference coordinator, workshop
presenter, and chapter president for the Utah Chapter of RWA. In 2007 she was
presented with the Utah RWA service award in acknowledgment and appreciation
for outstanding service. Mary has also participated in numerous library panels
on writing and co-presented a workshop on writing a series at the League of
Utah Writers conference.
Mary and her husband
are also enthusiastic college football fans. They have season tickets to the
UTES, University of Utah Football and they tailgate every game. They love
tailgating so much, that they were married at a tailgating in 1999.
GO UTES!
