Who’s Behind This Blog?
Hi, I’m Maria—a publisher, writer, and unapologetic mystery addict.
I read faster than my to-be-read pile can grow, have a soft spot for clever detectives and unreliable narrators, and firmly believe a great plot twist can make an ordinary day extraordinary.
As the founder of Purple Quill Book Production, I also spend my days helping authors bring their books to life. Here at Bookaholic, though, I’m simply one reader sharing great discoveries, binge-worthy adaptations, bookish finds, and everything that makes the reading life so much fun.
If you love suspense, crime fiction, psychological thrillers, and talking about fictional characters as though they’re actual people who desperately need better judgment… welcome. You’re among friends.
