Maria L. Wallace Bio
Maria L. Wallace writes romantic suspense with grit, grace, and gut-punch emotion. Her stories are more than escapism—they’re survival guides wrapped in seduction. Every book she pens is a bold reclaiming of power, inviting readers into a world where scars become symbols of strength and love is forged in the fire of adversity.
Through her Behind the Badge series, Maria blends danger and desire, reminding readers: You’re stronger than what tried to destroy you. Her standalones dig even deeper—exposing raw truths many fear to confront and empowering trauma survivors to reclaim their voices, their stories, and their worth.
She doesn’t just write about survival—she embodies it. Every plot twist carries a pulse, every romance is laced with resilience. Her characters fall in love while fighting to survive, because that’s exactly what real strength looks like.
Chasing Grace is Maria’s storm-chasing passion project—a blend of awe, advocacy, and adrenaline. What began as a love for meteorology evolved into a mission: to teach others how to embrace the storms that shape them and uncover the quiet beauty they leave behind.
With radar apps in hand and purpose in heart, she documents each chase not just for the thrill—but for the reminder: Even the fiercest storm ends. And when it does, there’s grace.
Equal parts humor, healing, and horticulture, Shayla Garden Chronicles is Maria’s heart-grown sanctuary. Through the eyes of Shayla—a sassy, garden-loving soul with rhinestone gloves and real-world grit—Maria cultivates joy, self-sufficiency, and connection.
This vibrant space helps readers laugh, learn, and root themselves in something real. Every flower, every pepper, every punny plant sign is a gentle nudge toward growth—proof that even in broken soil, something beautiful can bloom.
