People history forgot — their lives illuminated

About Maryka

Maryka Biaggio Headshot

I began writing novels in my middle years, and I've been writing up a storm since then! Now I'm an award-winning novelist specializing in historical fiction based on real people. I love unearthing the stories of people overlooked by history and bringing them back to life—portraying their challenges and foibles and rekindling their emotional world. I pride myself on carefully researching the period and people and providing readers with an immersive experience. I'm an avid opera fan and enjoy gardening, art films, and, of course, great fiction. I live in Portland, Oregon.

Doubleday published my debut novel, Parlor Games, in 2013. My second novel, Eden Waits, was published by Milford House Press in 2019. Milford House Press released The Point of Vanishing in 2021 and The Model Spy in 2022. Click on the covers to learn more…
