Hi! I’m K. B. MacNeille, and I am a believer in potential. Potential to achieve beyond our imaginations and potential for chocolate to fix everything. I am currently riding the roller coaster of medical residency with my amazing husband, who is studying to become an orthopedic surgeon. I love trying new desserts way too much, and I firmly believe Christmas trees should go up in October.
My Books
I have several irons in the fire, all at different temperatures. The hottest iron is a paranormal mystery–cozy, romance, detective story…forgive my forever battle with genre definitions!–which I am currently querying. It’s title, should it choose to accept it, is Haunting Coretta Jones. What will you find in this story? Slow burn, cozy romance, betrayal, and a stronger than normal conviction that ghosts do not exist, even when all evidence says otherwise.
New to the fire is a fantasy with the working title Take My Heart. I’ve been told that sounds like a romance title, and that feedback is not wrong. This little baby idea is still in its infancy, so I’ll worry about the title after I figure out a setting, character names, and the bulk of the plot!
A passion project that is sitting on the backburner for now is a contemporary fantasy series called The Petrichor Pages, which includes four books. The first book is on it’s third draft (or fourth, or fifth…hard to say at this point). This series follows a woman whose husband is going through medical school. As if that isn’t enough to deal with, she is thrust into a world of magic where she must learn and master her powers while an evil force threatens the poeple she loves and the life she is trying to build. I plan to finish it someday, when my mind returns from the land of ghosts and witches where the previous projects live.
Lastly, I dabbled in the art of memoir a bit, out of which time was born the book Send Chocolate. It focuses on mine and my husband’s experiences throughout this medical training journey.
I’ll be posting periodic updates on these books under the menu tab “Books”!
