All About Mary...

Mary was born and raised in St. Catharines - the second youngest of thirteen children.  After graduating from Durham College with a degree in Food and Drug Technology,  Mary worked as a Quality Control Technician for Sandra Tea and Coffee before taking a job with The Republic of Tea and moving to Nashville, Illinois.

Mary worked as the Minister of Quality and Tea Taster for the Republic of Tea for eleven years, but eventually home called her back to the Niagara region.

Mary now lives in St Catharines once more with her daughter, her dog Oscar and a cat that seems to have moved in without her noticing! 

When she's not busy at home, or at work as Regulatory and Quality Control Supervisor for The Mentholatum Company of Canada, Ltd., or of course co-hosting Let's Talk About It - Mary also works with Girl Guides of Canada, Migrant Workers and is active in her church. 

Some of Mary's favourite books are the Anne of Green Gables series, The Little House on the Prairie series and The Twilight Saga. 

Most recent book club read: The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman
