Hi! My pen name is Marie McKoy. In real life, I am a busy mom, wife and communications professional. I write for a young adult audience, but everyone is welcome. I hope you find my stories focus on authentic, relatable characters with a touch of romance, mystery and magic.
I'm currently writing WHEN WE WERE WILDFLOWERS, a lower-YA novel about finding and losing your best friend, and all the adventures in between. Just a disclaimer, it's a first draft and will be undergoing editing.
My completed novel SONG OF A SOPHOMORE is coming-of-age story (set to a soundtrack of 90s pop music) about a bullied teen who learns to transform her wounds into wisdom for the ultimate victory--self love. It was chosen for the 2022 Watty's Bootcamp Mentorship Program and is very close to my heart .I hope you love the 90s nostalgia as much as I do!
