Mary G

Mary Geneva is a sales professional by day and a semi-reformed-hope(ful)-romantic serial dater by night. Married at age 21 and divorced at 26, she and rescued pets, pup Valentino and kitty Diva cat were left to learn how to balance their checkbook.

Mary is the Author of Nicknames, Tales from the Shallow End of the Manhattan Dating Pool. In Nicknames, Mary tiptoes back into the dating pool accumulating many late night, drunken scraps of paper and text messages outlining unbelievable—yet totally true—events. Every time Mary refers to a guy by other than his real name, the relationship is doomed. Knowing she couldn’t make this shit up, she stored the memories away, and is finally able to share them with you. Mary believes the guy she does not nickname will be the one she will marry.

Undaunted, Mary lives, works, and plays in NYC. Mary calls Hell’s Kitchen home and when not dating, she can be found planning her next scuba diving adventure.

Mary also charges full speed ahead pounding the pavement, racing marathons and raising money for the charity The Samaritans to bring awareness of suicide prevention and outreach programs.

But nothing brings a smile to Mary's face like her famous garlic roasted mashed potatoes, perfectly whipped mountains of starch, hoping to one day find the meat to her potatoes.

To unwind, Mary is on a mission to create the perfect martini!
