<p><strong>Mary Mager </strong>is a Nevada – raised writer and songwriter. She has been a registered nurse, a business owner, substitute teacher, and stay-at-home mom, which; she considers her most rewarding occupation. </p><p>Mary has always been a storyteller, and since retirement from the business world she has had the time to work on projects inspired by the special joy of having a grandchild on her lap. She has been a church musician for many years, and that experience led her to compose her own songs, culminating in release in 2014 of an album, “On Grandma’s Lap,” a collection of bedtime songs and lullabies. At the same time, she has continued to imagine and write stories both long and short for her grandchildren. “Pretend Princess” is the first book in the Concordia series for middle-grade readers. "Under the Summer Sun" is the second in this engaging series.</p><p>Mary has a Facebook page, On Grandma’s Lap, and a website: http://www.ongrandmaslap.com. She is delighted to hear from her readers at ongrandmaslap@gmail.com.</p>
