Former freelance writer and journalist Maggie Stewart-Grant spoke her mind for 38 years and became a fixture in selected circles throughout the US, UK, Europe, Eastern Europe, Australia and Central Asia for thinking well outside the box.  It was when she lived in Scotland in the 1990s that she became known as "The Inimitable M", a moniker that stuck to her, quite like packing tape.  She was involved in political and environmental issues to the point that she set aside everything else to write strictly about what she saw and what she knew. As she recently pointed out, "I have retired from the platform of journalism. Now it is the responsibilty of others to take up that gauntlet. Many of my friends do that very well."

By day, Ms. Stewart-Grant is senior editor for Canonbridge LLC, a publishing company with four imprints specialising in non-fiction, new fiction, special-genre fiction and children's books.

By night, Maggie is a writer with four projects in the works.   Using her research skills, she incorporates her love of anthropology and archaeology into her novels.

While she does take her work and writing quite seriously, Maggie believes that a sense of humour - sometimes dark, often dry, tinged with a bit of cynicism - is what gets one happily through life.  She has a passion for her children, her sister, her partner, the diverse civilisations and societies she's experienced over the years and White Sox baseball.  And yes!  Loads and loads of coffee!
