Maria Vale is a logophile and a bibliovore and a worrier about the world. Trained as a medievalist, she tries to shoehorn the language of Beowulf into things that don't really need it. She currently lives with her husband, two sons and a long line of dead plants in New York.
"As Vale begins her The Legends of All Wolves series, her
outstanding worldbuilding makes this sensuous tale of life and love
in the Pack, a werewolf society, well worth reading. Spellbound
readers will watch for the next installment, A Wolf Apart." -
