Welcome

Hello and a warm welcome to you all. Whether you’re a returning visitor, or a passers-by who stumble upon this site via whatever means, I hope you stay around for a while.

On this site, you’ll find all the information about me as an author, and much more. Check back the ‘Home’ page throughout the year as I will be running a few competitions.

‘About Me’, as you would have guessed, give a brief biography of myself, from the humble beginning of living in a third world country to present day.

‘My Blogs’ section is where I will be spending my time the most. To save you from trawling through thousands of jumbled-together posts, I have categorised these into three entries. ‘A Writer’s Musings’ house everything pertaining to my writing – from writing tips that work for me (and those that don’t) to little excerpts from current work-in-progress; from appearances to book reviews (others and, when the day comes, mine!). ‘Four Corners of the World’ recount another passion of mine – jet-setting to experience the culture and cuisine of different countries. ‘Life and Its Adventures’ contain all those other posts that don’t fit into the previous two categories, from my favourite season to favourite movie, from what I get up to on the weekend (apart from writing) to trials and tribulations at my current full-time work.

‘Penned Projects’ has synopses and excerpts of all my finished and current writing projects.

If you see a page that doesn’t look right, or if you want to offer suggestions/improvements to the website, feel free to email me at contact@mariasmcdonald.com or fill in the form on the ‘Contact Me’ section.

And lastly, ‘Links’ will have all those other blogs I regularly visit and contribute.

Enjoy!
