Got side quests?

Mackenzie McCarter is a brand storyteller who prefers Nexus Portals to Google Meets. With a degree in Health Science and an emphasis in Psychology, she writes “mythical therapy” for the burnt-out millennial who knows that being the "Chosen One" would probably lead to lots of cortisol and even more unread emails.

Drawing on her professional experience in brand management, Mackenzie specializes in sharp one-liners and high-stakes emotional arcs. Turns out writing catchy headlines is the ultimate training for a Romantasy author. A true Sagittarius with an inherent nature for adventure, she would choose the mythos of “splicing” any day—though she’d likely use it primarily to save on airfare.

When she isn’t plotting mythical wars or rewriting the stars, Mackenzie is taking photos and drinking lavender lattes in Colorado Springs, where she lives with her husband, son, and two high-energy pups. You can find her imagining the Legatus of Terra dangling his boots off the hidden platform on Pikes Peak or at mackenziemccarter.com.
