Writer Biography - Maria Blanco

Living in San Francisco, CA brought me the opportunity to meet other queer people, now this Dorothy lives in the full rainbow spectrum. The freedom, the love, the magic to love and feel loved by people who understand your struggle, share your happiness is priceless and completely inspiring to write, now my stories come from experience, love, and understanding.

I have written several full-length and short stories of LGBTQ lives to bring us more visibility, acceptance, and inclusion.

Writer Statement

I believe that a story like BEFORE THE BEYOND needs to be told because there is not much material about the growing senior population, who are the movers and shakers that fought all our rights and the freedoms some take for granted today. So please allow me to introduce you to the world of Before the Beyond.
