Mary Howard writes dark romance from her candlelit farmhouse in upstate New York, where six black cats serve as judgmental beta readers. A former crime journalist turned full-time purveyor of wickedness, Mary doesn't just explore the shadows—she lives there. Her stories blur obsession with devotion, control with surrender, and monstrosity with love. She believes every broken character deserves a chance to break someone else beautifully. When not typing furiously past midnight, Mary is probably plotting your next favorite morally gray antihero. Warning: her happily-ever-afters come with a body count.
