A native of North Carolina, award-winning author Mary Flinn long ago fell in love with her state’s mountains and its coast, creating the backdrops for her series of novels, The One, Second Time’s a Charm, Three Gifts, and A Forever Man. With degrees from both the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and East Carolina University, Flinn has retired from her first career as a speech pathologist in the NC public schools that began in 1981. Writing a novel had always been a dream for Flinn, who began crafting the pages of The One, when her younger daughter left for college at Appalachian State University in 2009. The characters in this book have continued to call to her, wanting more of their story told, which bred the next three books in the series. A follow-up story, the grand finale to the Kyle and Chelsea series, featuring one of the series’ characters, notorious mean girl, Elle McLarin, whom everyone loves to hate, A Girl Like That, can also be read as a standalone. Other standalone titles include The Nest, Breaking Out, and Allegiance, a gripping tale about two army couples whose lives are ripped apart as a result of a misunderstanding. LUMINA is an historical novel depicting social life on Wrightsville Beach, NC during the summer of 1928. Flinn has recently been the recipient of the Reader Views Literary Awards and BRAG Medallion honors for several books. In addition to romance, Flinn writes contemporary women’s fiction and historical fiction. Mary Flinn lives in Wilmington, North Carolina, where she is working on her next book. She and her husband have two adult daughters. For more information, please visit www.TheOneNovel.com. Playing by Heart is her tenth novel.
