WELCOME! My pen name is Marie McKoy and music is my muse. My books are written 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... and, of course, some good music!

I'm almost done writing my YA contemporary novel WHEN WE WERE WILDFLOWERS, which is inspired by the Dolly Parton song "Wildflowers." It's about blossoming from a girl to a woman, finding your best friend, discovering first love, and learning to survive when you're world is falling apart. 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!
