About My Library
Eclectic. I read a lot of romance, some historical, some suspense, many contemporary. I also read science fiction, speculative fiction and literary fiction. I also read upmarket women's fiction and new adult fiction. I often read new authors looking for new favorites and also keeping tabs on what's available out there. I don't read much non-fiction, but when I do it's often about writing craft and the publishing industry, and also about character, personality and the brain.
About Me
Always eager to fill blank pages and empty canvases with ideas swirling in her head, MaryAnn set out to write emotionally engaging stories that walk a tight rope between intelligent Women’s Fiction and heart-warming Romance.

A polymath who studied Fine Arts, Urbanism, Architecture and Gerontology at university on both coasts of Canada, she turned to her first love, writing stories, when she realized she could have more fun with fewer rules to follow as an author, than working in an office as an architect, or in a university as a researcher. When not writing, she meditates while hiking wooded mountain trails, does yoga and Pilates to fend off decrepitude, reads eclectically, contemplates wormholes, experiments with painting abstract expressionism, kills plants and tries not to burn dinner while solving her next plot problem. Now that her chick has flown the coop, Clarke lives on beautiful Vancouver Island, Canada with her husband and cats. Although she knows she lives in Paradise, she still loves traveling the world in search of romance, art, good food and new story ideas.

MaryAnn Clarke is a USA Today Best-selling author, Chatelaine Grand Prize winner and Next Generation Indie Book Award finalist for The Art of Enchantment, first in the Life is a Journey series about young women on journeys abroad who discover themselves and fall in love while getting embroiled in someone else’s problems. Her Having it All series is about professional women struggling to balance the challenge and fulfillment of their careers with their search for identity, love, family and home. Her newest series Most UNLIKELY To, begins with The Reporter's UNLIKELY Reunion published in September 2021 and Hiding From Christmas is the first in a new Off The Grid Christmas Trilogy of RomComs.
