Maren Mackenzie

Maren Mackenzie grew up in New Jersey (a state she thinks gets a bad rap for no reason) and attended Rutgers University, where she received her degree in English. She spent the early part of her career in the literary department of a mega-talent agency, wondering why she was helping everyone else write their books, instead of writing a few of her own. She has since traded in publishing for the legal industry and New Jersey for Miami Beach.

Maren writes contemporary romance about love, family, and transformation, with a generous dash of spirit and spice. When she’s not writing, she can be found spending time with her family, reading, shopping, and of course, going to the beach. Whatever she’s doing, she is always on the hunt for a great dirty martini, a good book, or an epiphany. In that order.
