An LGBTQ Mystery Set in Portland

Mary Desch

pen name: MM Desch, Author

Storytelling at the edge

Mary Desch practiced psychiatry over three decades in Minnesota, Arizona, and Portland, Oregon. Her childhood attraction to the Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine grew into a college love for detective fiction. Not surprisingly, she leaned toward the psychological. As it turns out, medical and psychiatric work is a lot like a detective’s sleuthing. When not writing or investigating another facet of writing, Mary enjoys hiking and long dog walks with her wife and their rascal mini schnauzer, Portland food carts, golf, and the WNBA.
