Author Spotlight Feature with Mary Moss by Letrise Carter I had the pleasure to interview author Mary Moss, a full-time Office Administrator for a local transportation company in Richmond, Virginia. Like many indie authors, Mary still works full-time and is a published author, speaker, and teacher. Mary comes from a long line of writers and continues the legacy and journey that she is very passionate about. She wears many hats as most women do, but Mary’s hat is very unique.
