Maggie Weston
Maggie is a Victorian era enthusiast. Though she grew up voraciously consuming classical literature, she stumbled upon her first romance novel at age eleven and never looked back. When she’s not writing or researching all the weird things our predecessors did, she can be found reading, taking on home improvement projects that she thinks she can handle (but can’t), and watching period dramas. Maggie lives with her husband, two dogs, horse, and innumerable houseplants in Dallas, Texas.
