Born in the South with a healthy streak of wanderlust, Maggie Rapier is an incurable romantic who loves nothing more than wordplay and witchcraft-except, perhaps, her sourdough starter. When she's not marketing French antiques or writing about moody girls and sexy pirates, you can find her wandering in the woods with a basket in hand.
