When Maia Farkas finally found the courage to pursue her passion for writing, she left her job as a tax and accounting professor at the university. To bring meaning to her world and to feed the creative part of her brain, she writes fantasy and paranormal romance novels under M.J. Penn.
Maia likes to write about strong heroines who fight for what they believe in and get their happily-ever-after. She crafts steamy and angsty stories that weave together her love of human emotion, werewolves, vampires, mystery, and sports. Her readers are taken on a roller-coaster ride of love triangles, forbidden love, sexy alpha males, and fated mates of supernatural worlds.
She lives in Southern California with her college-sweetheart husband and her son. A book addict and coffee lover, Maia enjoys walks at the beach, and she tries to keep up with her son’s energy levels on most days. She also has this crazy goal of running a marathon one day.
