A work in progress

This is the official Web site for Maria Lima, author of the Blood Lines series, unrepentant fangrrl and writing geek. The site is a work in progress, as is pretty much everything else in my life.

My role models include Tanya Huff, Joss Whedon, Christopher Golden and Russell T. Davies amongst many, many others.

I love to read, write and watch genre TV. I'm very lucky that people actually pay me to do one of these three things. My series is published by Juno Books, an imprint of Pocket Books, a division of Simon & Schuster.

Praise for the Blood Lines series:

an intriguing and diverse supernatural society

Matters of the Blood is filled with plot twists and artful surprises.

Mystery, suspense and things that go bump in the night are all packed into this second part, making the first book weep in envy and the third book having to live up to an even higher standard.
-- Amber Chalmers, PNR

Feisty Keira narrates with a biting sense of humor.
-- Romantic Times 4 star review

It's a complex plot with the requisite twists and turns of a mystery, the passion of a paranormal romance and the unearthly elements of urban fantasy.

Ms. Lima spins a suspenseful tale and packs it with paranormal elements that will hold the reader’s attention to the end.
