Mahogany was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and has been writing for most of her life, everything from poetry to stories for children. In 2008, she began to write romance short stories and novellas. Her husband inspired her to write interracial romance because of their interracial marriage.

As a woman of mixed heritage, which includes Haitian, Creole and Choctaw Native American, she blends multicultural characters into her stories. She is an avid reader of Laurell K. Hamilton, Ann Rice, Rae Lori, D. Renee Bagby, J. K. Rowling, L.Loren, Siren Allen, V. Vee and Charlaine Harris.

She lives with her husband and two of their six children, including the family's pets of three sassy cats and one silly, but lovable German Shepherd in Warner Robins, GA.
