Maria has published five children's books through her independent publishing company C & V 4 Seasons Publishing Company. Her sixth book, My Sister My Friend, will be released in 2020. Maria's first children's book began with a vision of Christmas Eve at her grandmother's farm, recalling memories from a moment in time, reflecting on the meaning of Christmas. It's a touching story of a girl's memories of her family's holiday season in the mid-1960's on a rural Arkansas farm. ""I am excited to share my books with students throughout Arkansas! The motive for my books is to share a happy memory from a moment in time, and to encourage young readers and writers that there is a book in all of us."" Maria is married to Archie Hoskins. They have two children, Christina and Victoria, and she is an active member of the Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church in Maumelle, Arkansas.
