Mary Marelli

A writer of romance and young adult, Mary Marelli brings the word of God and love of animals through her stories. Her debut novel, Moon over Montana is packed with mystery, romance, and a young couple’s fight to save a herd of wild mustangs from rustlers. Mary is currently working on a young adult series about a grief stricken young girl who forms a special bond with a traumatized horse.

Mary believes that special bond exists between people and animals. They possess a wonderful, magical way of reaching out to us when we need it most. We talk to them, and they never spill a secret. We find solace in their presence, and comfort in their loving demeanor. In Moon over Montana, as well as the young adult series, the heroines form a special bond with a horse. Caring for them helps their grief to ebb and brings renewed purpose after suffering a sorrowful loss. Animals can help us heal and Mary hopes to bring a sliver of their special world to her readers.

Mary lives her husband and hound, Stacey, on a lake nestled in the foothills of the Pocono Mountains. Mother of two and grandmother to a teenage boy, her writing is inspired by a variety of true life experiences and a cause dear to her heart, the preservation of America’s wild horses.
