Name: Mary

Sex: The more dangerous one! ("The female of the species is more deadly than the male" - Rudyard Kipling)

Age: Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!

Race: Caucasian.

Country of Origin: U.S.

Nationality: Pure Roman on maternal side, traceable all the way back to the Empire. (No joke!) Paternal descent a mix of Calabrese and Sicilian, possibly with a few surviving Turkish chromosomes from eons ago. Also, based on slight local notoriety on paternal side of the family, I've long suspected that, somewhere in the forgotten mists of time, some obscure hun had a - er, hand in there somewhere!

Parentage: Mother (deceased): a Canadian show rider who frequented the Circle M Ranch in Kleinburg, Ontario (that, of course, is the origin of my pen name!); Father: an American baker, part owner of a now-defunct family bakery, retired.

Family: One sister, eighteen months younger, currently living in Colorado and employed by the state.

Career: What career? ;) Seriously, I'm a writer-in-utero, currently still in the employ of (cheapskate) family while I struggle to publish my first book. Wish me luck!

Religion: Has faith, but the issue of religion is too personal for discussion...
