Maggie Neal Doherty is influenced by the magic of water, the boldness of mountains, the peace of snow, and in keeping her soul wild. A northern Michigan native, she wants to thank her family, friends and dog, Reilly, for their support, encouragement, shared life stories, and creative inspiration. With a writing degree from DePauw University, Maggie hopes to continue to write stories that make her mom and grandmother proud, ski and paddle more often than work, and forever be inspired by great, startling and true writing.
