M.L. lives on a volcanic island somewhere in the Pacific, bunkered down with many imaginary pets in a cozy little shoebox. She's been reading and writing books, poems, and lyrics since age three or four-ish, maybe five, back when paper was a thing. Her debut novel "Trick of the Spotlight" brings us a scandalous exposé of the K-Pop music industry. A Series of Falling Stars is inspired by events recounted (in strict confidence) by a former (totally non-fictitious) acquaintance who found herself swept up in the destructive vortex of a certain 5-man group. ...more

I woke up in a cold sweat from a dream that didn't fit my life's genre, and it was occupying too much real estate in my head, so being a writer, of course, I took the idea and ran with it.

At first, I just wrote circles around the scenes, trying make sense of things and get the images down on paper and out of my head, but before I knew it, I was regularly making entries in something of a literary soap opera on LiveJournal. While publication was a childhood dream of mine, before Trick of the Spotlight, I'd only ever written for myself and my grandma, so reading the excited comments on LJ and getting outside feedback was such a thrill for me that one night–half-drunk on homemade sangria–I shared some of my stuff with my best friend. She's now my top alpha reader, and something like a big picture editor for my books, and it was her constant nagging that got me to repackage the story into something fit for a wider audience. I'm eternally grateful to her for spurring me forward on what's been an incredible journey so far!

So, there you have it; the books started out as nothing but a figment of a dream, and now they're living, breathing parts of me out there in the world!(less)
