Maggie Shayne was born as Margaret Benson in a rural area around the Syracuse, New York area. She is an American author, having written well over 50 romance novels and paranormal novels combined. Over the course of her career, Maggie Shayne has won a vast number of awards for her work. This includes the Romance Writers of America RITA Award, a prestigious award in its own right. Maggie Shayne also founded a coven in the Wiccan religion. So, besides writing her novels, she also practices as a High Priestess in the coven.
Her interest in the religion and culture of Ancient Sumer is incredible, and clear for all to see. Some of her novels (Destiny, for example), include research from this culture and religion. It took more than a few years of study at a Wiccan seminary (the Black Forest Clan) for Maggie Shayne to become an Elder as well as a High Priestess of the Wiccan religion. She is, as a result, a licensed minister. She then founded her very own coven called the Hawks of RavenMyst. She founded the coven in a domination she also had a part in founding—the RavenMyst Circle.
Maggie Shayne has been a storyteller ever since she was a child. When she read books and watched horror movies, she would rewrite endings as she would have done them had those been her own works. Her first foray into the world of novel-writing came much, much later, though. She came up with a story (mentally) as she once attempted to comfort a sick child. She claimed that she was in the mood to read a romance novel on that day. For that reason, she wove a romance story in her head at that time. It only took a few days for her to transfer the story to paper (a yellow pad, to be exact).
Shayne knew that she would need a typewriter if she was to become the published writer she wanted to be. So, she looked for a job and eventually got one—she worked for one of her neighbors, looking after horses. In the meantime, Maggie Shayne finished up three more manuscripts. However, she was not able to sell them.
Soon enough, though, Harlequin launched a “Shadows” line. This was essentially Shayne’s big break. She sent a letter to the publisher informing them of her jubilance at their willingness to create a line particularly for her. The editor did reject Shayne’s first book. Nonetheless, she was stirred by her enthusiasm and asked to see more of Shayne’s works. The editor ended up buying the second novel, which eventually became the first of a series—the Wings in the Night series. Though the Shadows line was officially closed, Silhouette asked Maggie Shayne to continue writing the Winds in the Night series, which was so popular with readers by then.
This began a wave of success for Maggie Shayne. Well over 50 novels got published since then. These books included those of various romance sub-genres; contemporary romance, time travel romance, category romance, paranormal romance and romantic suspense. During that time, Shayne has written for a variety of publishing companies. These include Avon Books, MIRA Books, St Martin’s Press, Spilled Candy Books and Penguin Putnam. As well as these publishing companies, Maggie Shayne’s books have also been published by Silhouette (in their Intimate Moments Line and their Romantic Suspense Line).
She has also looked to combine varied genres; paranormal and romance genres or horror and romance genres. Her novels typically bring together good and evil in a kind of every day scenario—creating redemption for a “monster” by the supremacy of love.
Not only does Maggie Shayne write novels, she has also worked for TV soap operas as a writer. These are the “As the World Turns” and “Guiding Light” soap operas. Shayne, however, dedicated her time and energy to writing novels, but not after being offered (and very nearly considering) the position of the co-head-writer for the shows.
Shayne has seen her works hit a number of bestseller lists, including Booksense, Waldenbooks and USA Today. The book Twilight Hunger got the number 18 spot on the New York Times Bestseller List. A few book clubs have also selected more than a few of her books. These include the Rhapsody Book Club, the Mystery Guild Book Club and the Doubleday Book Club.
Her initial win of the celebrated Romance Writers of America RITA Award came after she had been nominated 13 times. This was when she would finally claim the prize. To put this momentous achievement into perspective, think of the Romance Writers of America RITA Award as an Academy Award, only it’s for romance writers. On top of that, three other Career Achievement Awards (from the Romantic Times Book Club Magazine) have been claimed by Maggie Shayne.
The list of awards and nominations for Maggie Shayne include:
· The Romantic Times Reviewers’ Choice Award in the Best First Book category (for the Reckless Angel book) in 1992-1993.
