A children’s book titled ‘Shoby Raptor and the Heavy Coat’ and a recently published short book titled ‘Weighed Down: unlearning the lies sold to us about our bodies’. She has a facebook and Instagram page sharing her books along with the more amusing parts of her life in Townsville, North Queensland, under the name mary_pearson_author.

Mary is passionate about mental health, healthy communication and self-worth and her books
reflect this. But most importantly, Mary is an Aunty. A favourite aunty, according to her fridge. She writes stories for her army of nephews, which they have thoroughly enjoyed for years. She writes stories in honour of her friends and clients whose strength and survival she has witnessed first hand. Most importantly, she writes for herself. This way she knows her words will always be authentic and meaningful.
