Maria Zain
Maria is a wife, mother, coffee addict, homeschooler and writer - not in that particular order. On most days, all roles get muddled up with each other, but somehow straighten out by the end of the day. Freelancing has been her career ever since the children came about as she felt that this was the most accomodating career to a lifestyle that was growing more and more hectic by the day.
She writes for different magazines and websites, sub-edits, provides translation services and dwells on the future of her novel. Though her muse sometimes gets lost, sheer determination to remain a freelancing, homeschooling mother of three busy children under the age of five keeps her going.
Fortunately her interests are far and wide, thus there is always something to write about - including business, education, society and culture, religion, homemaking, and of course, parenting, children and homeschooling.
