Catching up with author Mary Ann Bernal
You may or may not know: One of the best surprises was delivered via Federal Express when Mary Ann received a thank you signed by the marines serving aboard the USS Ronald Reagan along with a lovely blue throw blanket with the USS Ronald Reagan emblem stitched into the fabric. This was in response to her book donation for their reading pleasure - boxes of signed copies of her work.
After visiting the Thetford Priory Ruins in Norfolk, UK, Mary Ann learned that Ghost Hunters had featured the site, which is reputedly haunted. She did not see any specters, much to her disappointment.
Being a proud Trekker, Mary Ann attended Star Trek conventions in New York City and also visited the Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton where she can be found on the Voyager bridge next to Captain Janeway.
