"I see myself as The Old Blue House"
About the Author
Welcome , my name is Maria Montgomery , creator this is series. I am from the midwest region of the United States and raised a large family in a small rural town. As parents do, I tried, I failed, I won, I lost. I learned. I enjoyed, I loved, I was scared.
The Old Blue House series of stories, started out as a legacy project for my grandchildren and it still is, but has become much more. I have named and based each character on one of them and it is with their blessing I share a gentle messages and present an oppurtunity to spend a few minutes just to imagine.
I live in Northern Ireland, visit home often. I am a travel photographer, digital artist and currently building a publishing company from the ground up .
"What if I could ...write a children's book?"
