(15th) Maressa Mortimer




My name is Maressa Mortimer. I grew up in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands. I have been living in England for the last 20 years.

I live in the beautiful Cotswolds with my husband and four (adopted) children. My personal blog deals a lot with adoption and early years trauma issues.

I’m a homeschool mum, so my writing has to be done in the evening when peace and quiet descend on our house once more. I love writing Christian fiction, as it’s a great way to explore faith in daily life. Writing has been a great release, and meeting other writers has been wonderful. I'm learning so much every day, and I enjoy trying out new genres and ways of writing.

My debut novel, Sapphire Beach, was published December 2019, and my first self published novel, Walled City, came out on December 5th 2020, as my own St Nicholas present to the world! You can buy your very own, signed copy at www.vicarioushome.com
