Mary Ann (M.A.) Lakewood is the pen name of a woman with too common a name to use as an author. She lives in upstate New York with her husband, two children, and two cats. When she's not writing, and often while she is, M.A. can be found hanging out with her baby and watching another rerun of Time Team. Lakewood, under her real name, has two bachelor's and a master's degree, none of which she really uses in her day to day life, and all of which have helped her to become a stronger writer.
