Maria Riegger is based in the Washington, DC area. She is a banking /corporate attorney by day, and an author by night. She writes contemporary fiction, including romance and romantic suspense; and parenting/self-help books.
Maria is a Gemini whose head has always been in the clouds. From a young age, her mother scolded her for not paying attention; when she was bored, she would make up stories in her head. Her worst fear is boredom. She has been writing since she was about thirteen years old. A lover of languages, she speaks French, Spanish, Catalan and some Portuguese; and has lived in the U.K., France and Spain.
She has been caught air-guitaring in public. She loves to laugh, and is the “go-to” person if a friend needs someone to laugh at his lame jokes. In true Gemini fashion, she indulges both her logical personality as an attorney as well as her creative personality. She loved law school and even misses it, which led her friends to conclude that she is certifiable.
As if all that isn’t eclectic enough, and because Maria is an overactive Gemini, she is also a practicing astrologer. For information on astrological signs and for help parenting based on your child’s zodiac sign, check out the Self-Help/Parenting page on this site.
When not writing or lawyering, she can be found doing a myriad of activities including reading, traveling, working on pro bono legal cases, political volunteering, and basically anything else that is not housework.
She has published several fiction novels, nonfiction books, and a book of holiday-themed short stories. She is currently working on several projects. Feel free to contact her at www.facebook.com/lawschoolheretic or on maria@lawschoolheretic.com.
