Louise Gorday writes fantasy, historical fiction, and women’s fiction. After a thirty-seven year career in federal civil service, she finally gave in to the call and began writing full time. A lifelong resident of Southern Maryland, Louise presently resides near the Chesapeake Bay that inspires her stories.​”I could blame it on a stapler. Or maybe it was the Scotch tape, the dog ear, or the occasional white paste. Whichever it was, once I found I could join together pieces of paper and write stories, I was forever enthralled by this great adventure called writing.”
