Who is Maria Baias?

I am a scientist and a Sci-Fi/Fantasy writer currently working on my first book series, a Young Adult (YA) Space Adventure, cruising the universe, meeting lots of alien species, and enjoying adventures on different planets.

A great source of inspiration for my Sci-Fi & Fantasy worlds is found right here, on our home planet, a place filled with many wonders of its own, which are the topic of my YouTube channel and my blog, "Wonders of Heritage".

For my fellow writers, I’ve created something special for you—Happy Writer Hub, a blog filled with inspiration and motivation for writers.
