Maggie wasn't born in Greenville, S.C., but she was certainly raised here, having called this her home for the last 20+ years. She even graduated from local Furman University and went to work as an editor for 10Best shortly thereafter. Her daydreams come mainly in the form of screenplays and novels, and her free time is spent watching movies, enjoying the gorgeous surrounding foothills or exploring the Greenville food scene — almost always alongside her husband.
