Mackenzie Lucas
Mackenzie Lucas is a lover of story in any form. She's an avid reader of genre fiction; writes romantacy, contemporary romance, and mystery. She loves a good story whether it's an erotic short, a full-length romance novel, or the narrative slice-of-life found in country music. In any story, emotional integrity and authenticity are most important to her as well as a big dose of romping hot sexual tension. She enjoys sassy, smart-mouthed heroines and the sexy heroes they face-off with and plot twists that surprise her, but most of all, she just wants to experience a satisfying emotional arc of a character falling in love and finding what he or she needs most in life.
Mac is a small-town country girl turned world-traveler. She grew up in the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania and she's lived in Dublin, Ireland. Spent a summer living with a college roommate in Long Island, and now resides in the Washington, D.C. area. She obtained her undergraduate degree in English Literature from Dickinson College and received her M.F.A. in Writing Popular Fiction from Seton Hill University. She's currently an author, writing coach, energy worker and bodyworker, but her illustrious career has run the full spectrum, raising her from her middle-class roots into positions where she's assisted and worked with political power-brokers and business leaders who have shaped countries and Fortune 500 companies. Through it all, she's learned the value of hard work, tenacity, and authenticity. It doesn't matter if you're dealing with Jane Q. Supervisor at a down-and-dirty warehouse shipping company, the vice president of a national retail chain, the CEO of a small business influential in Africa, or the political advisor responsible for helping to shape a party policy, in the end, it's not power or influence that's impressed her most, but authenticity and personal integrity.
"You can tell a lot by the actions of a man or woman--how they treat others and how much they share of themselves in the process." The stories that get us through life are the ones that take us on the emotional journey--the quest for truth about ourselves--they are the ones that impact us most and give us a glimpse of ourselves, but most of all, help us connect with others by tapping into those universal themes that makes us more human. Read Mac's stories to connect with a little of that universality, that humanity. Come, read, laugh, love, cry, be happy. Because in the end, you will always find your happy ending--your love, or your justice. Enjoy!
