Writing career
Mauros’ novels combine gothic horror and family saga, revolving around dark family secrets, the paranormal, and obsessive love and they often include a gloomy mansion in the story. Her most well-known novel is the infamous and controversial, EVEN ANGELS FALL (2002), a tale of a young woman who after discovering a diary is haunted by the mysterious suicide of its author in a malevolent mansion filled with locked rooms and hidden secrets, following in the grand tradition of the female Gothic novel. As a result, her books are dark, mysterious, romantic, and sometimes eerie, with the recurring ominous mansion, a beautiful, inquisitive heroine, and a brooding handsome hero.
She has won first place in several short-story writing contests and she has also had an article published on the life and works of the late author, V.C. Andrews in the March 2003 edition of the Reviewers International Organization Newsletter. She is an active member of Romance Writers of America and Gothic Romance Writers of America.

This boo k would be the first in Mauro's popular Devour Family series, which includes 2004’s THE FACE OF HEAVEN, which was published under the name, Sherry Hall-Mauro. The last book in the saga is TANGLED SOULS, coming out in 2009.
I am a writer. I consume books. Drink too much caffeine.
And have an "obsession about houses" and a love of ghost stories.
