Mary Pierce

Five things about me:

(1) My first book (When Did I Stop Being Barbie and Become Mrs. Potato Head?) was published when I was 54. I followed it with two more.

(2) I once played a horse in a play. The whole horse.

(3) I'm a psychotherapist -- got my master's degree at the age of 61, the same year I started running. My goal: finish 100 races before I die. (Just completed race #40).

(4) I love making art, especially collage and assemblage. What's better than fingers full of paint and glue?

(5) I'm 74 now, publishing the first of the Mackenzie Prentice Mysteries. (It's never too late. Whatever your dream is, start now!)
