Author Information

A professional working actress from the age of sixteen, Maria McCann is a classically trained, LA-based narrator with a conservatory acting degree from UCLA. She began her career playing Keanu Reeves's girlfriend in an MTV commercial and has since appeared in over forty-five films and TV shows, including Lucifer, Shameless, and Grey's Anatomy. She has recorded over 100 audiobook titles, working with publishers including Brilliance, Simon and Schuster, Podium, Dreamscape, Harper Collins, and Macmillan. Maria is a respected acting coach and teacher, with a skill for sharing complex concepts in challenging nonfiction-bringing an engaging air of expertise to topics ranging from dance (in all its forms), hiking, Alzheimer's care, and self-help. Her experience in youth arts gives her a passion and perspective for captivating YA audiences. Named for the lead character in West Side Story, Maria is proud of her Hispanic heritage and is conversational in Spanish. Her years spent in an elite writer's group (surrounded by Emmy Award-winning storytellers), and with her acclaimed novelist husband give her an affinity for capturing the author's intent and for in-depth character analysis. Maria's musical ear and love of travel have afforded her a knack with accents and dialects. She is particularly drawn to historical fiction where she can throw herself into the research necessary. She is also a fan of narrating paranormal, thrillers, women's fiction, and second-chance love, and as a proud LGBTQ+ parent, she also loves to inhabit the HEA of a scintillating sapphic romance. A lifelong animal advocate, Maria has helped to rescue furry friends from pitbulls to the real-life displaced tigers from the hit documentary Tiger King!
