Born a New Englander, M.T. DeSantis moved south in early adulthood, realized she actually liked winter, and promptly moved back north. She’s currently trying out life as a Michigander/anian with her family, who also (mostly) actually like winter. When not making word magic, M.T. can be found practicing yoga, attempting to make friends with the oven, or trying to read while people keep talking to her. To grab some free stories, visit M.T. here, where you can also subscribe to her somewhat sporadic but always relevant newsletter. ...more

I’m currently writing the story of how Bianca, Cindell, Orianna, and Zelandra (my four main ladies) met, and I was very, very, oh gods, so very stuck trying to figure out a scene where Cindell confronts something from her past. Every afternoon, I take a break from work to get in some exercise, and I tried talking it out while I walked (don’t worry, there weren’t a ton of people around to wonder why I was talking to myself). Anyway, hearing the problem out loud made something click, and boom, I had an answer and proceeded to plow through the problem scene. Now, the story’s almost done.

Different Does Not Mean Unrelatable

Shortly after the #WeNeedDiverseBooks movement got going in 2014, I felt stumped. Granted, I was very new to the book world then, but I was also someone who’d been reading avidly for two decades and never noticed an issue with the books I read. In addition, being someone with vision loss, I thought this was one of those “nice sighted people trying to tell me how to live” situations, and boy…

Quotes by M.T. DeSantis  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The star winked. To Delaria, this meant nothing. To the star, this meant much. For it is a well-known fact that a wish made on the first star a child sees at night has power. A wish made on the first star a child sees at night will come true.
Though, not always in the way expected.”
M.T. DeSantis, Grimmfay

“How far would the dragon obey? The show only had the creature dance and impress, but if pushed, would it fight? Ensnare? Die?”
M.T. DeSantis, Once Upon a Broken Sky

“All-she-could-eat snacks? The circus really was the best place in the world.”
M.T. DeSantis, Once Upon a Broken Sky

“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
S. Morgenstern

“[A] quotation is a handy thing to have about, saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself, always a laborious business."

(The Record Lie)”
A.A. Milne, If I May
