Myrna Mackenzie a grandi ne pas avoir une idée de ce qu'elle voulait être (elle n'avait pas été née princesse, le travail celui qu'elle pensait qu'elle aimerait, en raison de l'afflux constant de jolies robes et les couronnes), mais elle savait qu'elle aimait des histoires et des fins heureuses, afin de tomber dans la vie comme un romancier était à peu près inévitable.

Un auteur primé avec plus de 35 romans écrits, Myrna est né dans une petite ville dans Dunklin County, Missouri, a grandi juste à l'extérieur de Chicago et partage aujourd'hui son temps entre deux lacs à Chicago et dans le Wisconsin, à la fois très différents et très beau à la fois . Elle adore l'Internet (qui semble toujours magique après toutes ces années), aime le café, la randonnée pédestre, «tentative» de jardinage (sans grand succès), la cuisine et le tricot. Les lecteurs (et d'autres jardiniers potentiels, les cuisiniers, les tricoteurs, des écrivains, etc) peuvent visiter Myrna en ligne sur son site Web ou lui écrire à PO Box 225, La Grange, IL 60525, États-Unis.

Born in a small town in Dunklin County, Missouri, my parents moved to the Chicago area when I was just a toddler, so I don’t remember anything of my country roots other than my family’s annual visits to see relatives. My earliest memories, in fact, were of watching my sister and brother go off to school and wanting so badly to learn how to read and write that I actually scribbled in pencil in some of my books (even now I’m a bit shocked at the fact that I defaced books, but I suppose it might have been a clue that I would one day become a writer).



After college, I became a teacher where a good percentage of my students came from struggling families, and my favorite part of teaching was introducing young readers to the library and the joy of free-to-borrow books, the windows to the world for those who didn’t have the time or money or more fantastic means to visit foreign countries or imaginary lands. Unfortunately, during the school year, with nightly paper grading and planning I had very little time to read. Summers, however, I stocked up on books and read my heart out.



Although being an author seemed like an unattainable dream, I suppose that it was inevitable that I would one day give it a try. That one day became a number of years, and eventually I sold my first book. I haven’t stopped writing since. As I often say, I’m very lucky to be able to make my living by daydreaming. Envisioning worlds and characters and bringing them to life on the page is an indescribable joy. When people ask where I get my ideas, the answer is easy. Ideas for books are everywhere. Authors never really stop imagining stories, even when they’re not sitting at a computer. The writer button is never really turned off. For some, I suppose that might be a bit annoying, not being able to step away from one’s work. But for most writers, we’re just very grateful to have the opportunity to do this thing we do, creating worlds out of nothing but our thoughts and dreams.

Born in Dunklin County, Missouri and raised in the Chicago area, Myrna Mackenzie has always been a little bit country, a little bit urban. She’s also been blessed to have been able to make her living daydreaming stories to share with others. Her books have won awards and have been translated into many languages, but exciting as all of that is, the true joy is in creating the stories.

By nature, she tends to be all over the place, trying this and that: gardening rather unsuccessfully, knitting…sort of, hiking to mountain tops (with only a little complaining), white water rafting (lots of screaming), camping and more. But when asked to name her favorite way to spend an afternoon, most days she’ll take a cup of coffee or two or three and settle down somewhere sunny to read.
