About Me
I’m Mary: poet, author, memoirist, silk painter, and mentor to writers and artists. I also write speculative and uncanny fiction and adult literature under the name Samantha Beardon, exploring the places where the familiar slips sideways into something otherworldly or where the erotic meets reality .
