Traveling the world with author and journalist McGarvey Black

Reader's Entertainment Radio

A theatre major in college, McGarvey Black pursued an acting career for a few years. From there she moved into sales in the magazine publishing business where I sold print advertising. In the late 80's, she quit her job and backpacked around the world starting in Australia, on to Asia, the Middle East and then Europe. Because of that adventure, she ended up on her next publishing job at Outside Magazine and for the next 15 years, she sold and managed sales teams for companies like Conde Nast and WebMD working at brands like GQ, Allure, Lucky and Brides. She was also on the founding team of Condé Nast’s first foray into the digital space running the ad sales team for Condénet In 2007, with two children at home, she became a work-from-home executive recruiter for large and small internet companies for the next decade, but no matter how she earned a living, she always wrote…for me, for my friends and family. In 2017, she left recruiting to pursue a full-time career as a writer and since, she's penned four novels all published by Bloodhound Books. The first three were Thriller/Suspense; I Never Left (2019), The First Husband (2020) and Without Her Consent (2020) and her most recent, a romantic comedy, The Fussy Virgin (2021) will be out February 8, but you can pre-order here. You can find McGarvey Black on her website and at Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and BookBub.
