Maria Shield

Maria Shield writes adult fantasy, romance, and retellings of Greek Myth. She was raised in Kansas but has since lived all over the world, from Korea to Japan, finally ending up in her current location in Nebraska with her husband and pets. She is passionate about Japanese culture, ancient history, and feminist activism. She also loves helping other writers find their communities and sharing craft tips and tricks. This often means she’s participating in a critique group somewhere or starting one herself. When she isn’t writing, Maria can often be found doing the 3 R’s: Reading, Running, and Researching.
