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!

I don’t know about you but I have read so many books that are good in theory (rounded characters, good plot, amazing worldbuilding, a strong antagonist, all the action you can dream of), but I’ve been left feeling uninterested, bored, and ambivalent towards the whole story. I'm always left asking: Why? Why did this happen? Why is it important? Why should I care? Odd isn’t it, you can have the most amazing storyline but if readers don’t care they aren’t going to be interested. Why? Well...

“NICKIE!” Megan roared before the door into Nicole’s office burst open, slamming into the wall and rattling. Nicole jolted, scrambling out of her sleeping bag, snapped wide awake now. She slapped a hand onto the top of her desk and pulled herself up enough to peer over it— “Nickie!” Megan snapped, hands gripping the same desk as she leaned on it and glared down at the other author. “AH!” Nicole yelped, flinching back and falling into the chair. The seat dropped her, unwilling to be involved,...

Authors brains are so helpfully… unhelpful sometimes. *huffs and proceeds to shove my article at you* Okay, so, let's start out with what started the decision which is what I'm gonna say in just a minute… well.. No, it’d be what I'm about to write in just a minute…— anyway, basically the thing that led to my consideration of the decision I mentioned above. Theme. Okay, theme is… theme is… alot. I’ve been struggling to wrap my brain around how it works and how to implement it ever since i...
