A New Me: Soon to Be Writing as MA McNease

Making a sale at the Frenchtown Bookshop

It’s not a gender-neutral thing. It’s not even a pen name, since I’ve always written under my own name, and MA are my initials. Once I finish up the last Marshall James thriller, and the sequel to A House in the Woods, I’ll be using the name MA McNease. No periods. I just feel like some renewal, and I’ve never been fond of the name Mark. (It was Marshall at birth and later changed when I was adopted.) Stay tuned. I may put out A House the the Woods 2: The Devil’s Due, under the new moniker, I’m not sure yet. Just keeping it all interesting for myself. – Mark/MA

    I love the names Mark, Marc, Marshall. Take MA out for a run and if it pleases you, so be it. To me you will always be MArkulous! I’ll always follow you and your books.

      Maybe I’ll use it for soft porn. I changed my Facebook name to MA McNease and I just like the way it looks.

        Bello!, I like the way it looks, too. You’re idea for a soft porn name is pithy! Imma go by the name of my first pet and the street where i grew up.
