Authors Collective: Macy Wickins


Introduction To Me

Hi, I’m Macy Wickins, and I live on a 700 acre farm in Koshkonong, Missouri. I have four dogs and one brother. I play the piano and violin, and I adore reading. I’ve been doing competitive swimming since I was six years old, and I am now thirteen. I am a follower of our Lord Jesus Christ, and hope to use my writing to bring others to Him.

Now that you’ve met me, I hope you can settle in comfortably and not get too blown away by any outbursts of personality and wackiness.

Danger: Explosions possible, proceed with caution!

Here is the blurb of my published book “Dehumanize”. You know, it’s on Amazon, you should go check it out…or else…

Dehumanize

Excitement is brewing in the tiny town of Kimmswick, Missouri, when native Aster Cordero returns to major swimming competition. After suffering a devastating injury while going for the Olympics the year before, she's back on the national stage, this time as a serious competitor, and quickly draws everyone's attention.

But with her abusive father's somewhat violent resistance to her swimming career, will she be able to fulfill her dreams? Aster's motivation and drive is running low, and her dream is fading, when disaster strikes. What is most important to her, might not be her beloved sport.

I have been writing since I was very little, and still have many chapters from a book I wrote when I was six called “Blooming Bears.” I am tempted to slam my head against the wall every time I read it. dramatic scream Why did it have to be so bad?! I love writing as a hobby, but I also wish to influence peoples’ lives for good and to glorify God through my work. Author is my choice of life trade, and that means you should follow my advice from earlier and go check my book out, because when I get famous, you can say that you read my very first book when it was released. Stage-whispered conversation with internal conscience:

That was too prideful.

Prideful? What’re you talking about?

Extreme hubris.

Noooooooo…

My book was published on April 30, 2025. It was the #1 new release in the Amazon Teen & Young Adult Parental Issues books and #18 overall in that same category as of May 20th, 2025, and for about a week prior. Everyone’s raving about it…well, you know, like 10 people. Seriously, go to Amazon and purchase it! And if you’re from the past, Amazon is this thing, on this other thing-a-ma-bob called the Internet, that you can shop on. Yeah, I know, mind explodes. Oh, who am I kidding, no one found my secret time travel machine I brought with me from the 1850s…wait, did I just say that out loud?!

...Whelp, I guess I’m headed back to the covered wagon. Too bad I can’t take the computer with me…Or can I?!

Have a blessed day!

“Gil! I need to make my noodles before lunch break is over!” Giana cried as she stood by the side of the very boy she spoke to, who currently was busy cooking coffee the old fashioned way and busy boiling water for that. “Look, I’m sorry Giana,” Gil replied, “but I can’t go without my coffee, I will pass out at my desk if I do! Coffee is an author’s life!” “No, noodles are, and I need mine!” Giana argued, shaking the box of noodles she held. “You already have the water boiling, please?” “No,...

Real Quick before I start... Whaddya think of my new logo? (UPDATES ON NEWSLETTER COMING, JOIN HERE IF YOU WANT TO READ SOME OF GILS FICTION AND GET A SERIES OF CRITIQUES ON SPECULATIVE FICTION AND CLASSIC LITERATURE) Twill be a moment before fully assembled, so expect a month or two before any of those promises materialize. Oy. Gil is busy and tired. Who knew that sheep actually could put you to sleep? Ours don't make great pillows though. They have hair, not wool... and what wool I have had...

Gil hummed as he danced into the feast room with his favorite mug, on which were the words ‘Character Tears’ with sobbing silhouettes scattering it. It had been gifted to him on ‘boss appreciation day’ by the others collectively— which was fitting being many here were part of the Authors Collective. He sighed as the song he’d had in mind ended and walked up to where the coffee station was. Or had been. There— WHAT?! How was there no— Gil’s eyes darted around for the suddenly vanished coffee...
