They married after a whirlwind courtship that might have been taken directly from romance novel.

Published since 1982, Maura Seger is a prolific novelist, who also wrote under many pseudonyms over time: Maeve Fitzgerald, Anne MacNeill, Jenny Bates, Sara Jennings, Laurel Winslow, Laura Michaels, Laura Hastings, and Josie Litton. She used different pennames to re-invent herself. She is happily at work on a new novel, because she finds that writing each romance is and adventure filled with fascinating people who never fail to surprise her.
