edit data

T.L. McDonald lives in Ohio with her husband, her three wonderful children, and her little miniature pinscher Lola (who thinks she's a big beast.) When she's not spending time with her family or friends, she can often be found staring at the computer screen as she writes new material (okay sometimes she's actually just surfing her newsfeed on Facebook or Twitter), curled up with a good book, or occasionally binge watching an entire series on Netflix. Although T.L. has been writing since her childhood, Marked is her very first published novel and now that she's gotten this far, she has no plans of stopping. Nothing makes her happier than knowing she's put something out into the world for people to enjoy. ...more

Huge Fantasy & Sci-Fi Book Fair!

This year has been crazy—to say the least—and one thing that has helped me get through is the ability to escape into another world via reading. If you are like me, and need to escape the everyday world now and then (or know someone who does), I invite you to peruse through the 100+ books in this fair, and take yourself (or send someone else, as books make great gifts) on an adventure.

Quotes by T.L. McDonald (?)

“Wow. That hurt. Like a lot.” Jared’s face scrunches up in pain as he struggles to sit. “What did you have for breakfast? A bowl full of steroids?”
