About

The Many Faces of Mary… indeed.

I’m an eclectic person, always busy, always doing something. In addition to my day job with a major financial company in their IT section, I am a writer, a small business owner, a publisher, and a dreamer. I write erotic romance as Mary Winter and alternative spirituality fiction and nonfiction as Mary Caelsto. I may be venturing into a third genre, and yes, I’ll be a Mary Something there too. :)

I run Jupiter Gardens, an online store devoted to everything designed to nurture your inner worlds. Because I have extensive experience in publishing, I started Jupiter Gardens Press. JGP publishes alternative spirituality fiction and nonfiction. We also have an imprint, Jupiter Gardens Press Thebe, which publishes science fiction/fantasy, and Pink Petal Books, which publishes romances. If that isn’t enough, we also have an imprint, Kittyhorse Publishing, which publishes nonfiction about pets and animals. Our online store front can be accessed through the link in the upper left, or you can see us at various conventions around the Midwest.

Currently, I live in Central Iowa with six cats (a his and her household), my horse (she doesn’t live in the house), a couple of parrots, and some parakeets and finches. I also live with a pretty swell guy by the name of Steve, who is a writer himself and so understands my Type-A (major) personality.

This is a resurrection of marymuse.com and is my personal site. Basically it’s a way for friends and family to keep up with me. I’m a busy woman and sometimes I can’t even keep up with myself, especially since I work third shift. I hope you enjoy!!!!
