Who Needs Spots Anyway?

Biographie de Mary Lotorto-Soroka

I am a Jersey girl by heart and am now loving life by the beach in Southern New Jersey, enjoying the beautiful nature it abounds. I was an accountant for over twenty years and when my daughter was only three, decided to switch gears when my husband died to do something I have always wanted to do; write and illustrate children's books. Everyone has a story to tell, so why not tell it? I enjoyed writing and illustrating stories through the eyes of a child throughout my daughter's childhood.
My books range from her foreign adoption story, low self esteem and bullying, to our two silly cats. My writing shifted to helping others draw parallels to my own life. My latest non-fiction book, The First Time Without You, is based on a journal I maintained after the sudden loss of my husband. I hope through my grief process to help others living through the same loss. My current work is a book of short stories, poems, and thoughts which I will publish soon.
I look forward to reading any feedback my readers wish to send to help me strive to give them what they want.
