FAQ

Q. Who is this “Mar­cyKate” per­son any­way?
A.
This is me in a very tiny nutshell:

  • I am most often described by other peo­ple as a “nice girl.”
  • I rarely get a good night’s sleep and I drink enough cof­fee each day to give a horse a heart attack.
  • I wouldn’t know what day it was or where I’m sup­posed to be with­out my iPhone.
  • I like weird things and par­tic­u­larly enjoy writ­ing about them.
  • I wrote an opera as the equiv­a­lent of a senior the­sis in college.
  • I have minor obses­sions with Depeche Mode, Tim Curry, and the color blue.

Q. How many nov­els have you writ­ten?
A. Six com­pleted: GLOW, THE CRYSTAL BOOKTHE GHOST WRITERCONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE CYBORGMONSTROUS, and TWIN DAGGERS. Four oth­ers are still WIPs, plus a novella WIP. Thus far, only MONSTROUS will be pub­lished (which is just fine because not all them should be published!)

Q. Plot­ter or pantser?
A. Plot­ter! I love out­lines. They let me hop around in the sto­ry­line so I never have to worry about writer’s block, I can just keep writing.
