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!

My first novel SONG OF A SOPHOMORE is a nostalgic 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: love.

My second YA contemporary novel WHEN WE WERE WILDFLOWERS is a coming-of-age novel with country roots about fierce friendship, budding romance, soul-crushing betrayal, and resilience of the wild feminine spirit.

I'm currently developing a fast-paced, time-traveling, witchy YA mystery called THE WITCHES OF WAXAHACHIE about a curse imprisoning a family of spiritually gifted women and their magic (with a little romance thrown in).
