Hello, my name is Maria Gorman. I was born to Italian immigrant parents and I grew up in Baltimore, MD. We were a typical Italian family, we spoke Italian in the house, ate Italian meals every day, and celebrated most holidays with a fabulous, fun group of Italians who came over to the United States with my parents. They all had kids my age, so we had a great time growing up in this crazy Italian lifestyle.
I found a passion for reading while in elementary school, which probably helped me with my English, since I spoke only Italian as a child. Reading opened my mind to imagination and with that I always found myself creating stories in my head.
I guess you could call me a closet writer. I had and still have journals and notebooks filled with stories, pieces of stories, diary entries, poems...so many things. I loved to write.
Fast forward to 2015 when I self-published my first book 'Chatter in the Halls.'
Today, an empty nester, I live in Mt. Airy, MD with my husband. We love to travel and have had the opportunity to travel to some amazing places recently...Norway, Sweden, and Denmark to name a few. Of course, we never get tired of visiting our beloved Italy and just recently when one of our sons moved to London, we've had the lovely opportunity to visit London as well. Life is what you make it and I try to make mine as interesting as possible even if that means discovering new places in my own little home town and embracing every minute of it!
Welcome to my world of imagination.
