T.L. McDonald

Biography

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.

Smashwords Interview

When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
Reading. Lots and lots of reading. There's just so many great books out there. And if I'm not reading then I'm spending time with my family and friends or catching up on my favorite tv shows.
How do you discover the ebooks you read?
Emails and Facebook ads mostly. But I also like to just browse on various sites such as here on Smashwords.

The Marked
One night at a club is all it takes to change everything Hanna thought she knew. Witnessing a murder, she’s thrust into a supernatural world she never knew existed when she’s marked with a symbol by the young man dying in her arms. His memories become hers, and if she can’t figure out the secret hidden in them before the fallen do, it just might be the end of everything. The Marked is a dark, coming-of-age urban fantasy filled with twists, action, suspense, a flawed yet strong-willed heroine, brooding guys with secrets of their own, a little romance, and a touch of horror. Perfect for fans of The Mortal Instruments and those who love angels and demons, and good versus evil.
