HELLO, I’M MARY

A curler’s heart.
A storyteller’s eye.

I’m an author, lifelong curler, and professional pet sitter from Saint Paul, Minnesota. My stories grow out of two of my favorite worlds: the curling community and the animals who fill my days.

In my memoir, I share life inside the curling club. In my children’s books, I celebrate friendship, kindness, and the courage to try something new. Both come from the same place: a love of belonging.

Rooted in Saint PaulGenerations of curling traditions and club friendships.
Stories inspired by real lifePeople, pets, and small moments worth remembering.

WHERE SO MANY STORIES BEGIN

At home on the ice.

The game brings us in. The people keep us coming back.
