Mack Little

I was born in Conyers, Georgia. Leaving my small town, I landed smack dab in the middle of another small town to earn a BA in English from the University of Dubuque, Iowa. Since I had not found my "writing voice" by the time of my graduation, and I did not want to teach English to school kids and had no money for graduate school, I joined the Army. After five years, I earned a bonus that paid for my Master of Information Science from the University of North Texas. Upon graduation, I became a medical librarian. But alas, teaching turned out to be my destiny. I taught medical and nursing students, as well as doctors and nurses, how to conduct research using online resources. I even served as an adjunct professor at the Texas Women's College, teaching a graduate-level class on research using online resources.

As a librarian, I authored and co-authored several articles for professional journals under the name Felicia Mack Little. I contributed to such publications as the Journal of the Medical Library Association, Medical Research Services Quarterly, and the Journal of Electronic Resources. I have presented at the Medical Library Association Conference, the Texas Gulf Coast Healthy Communities Partnership, and the Special Libraries Association Conference. I co-authored the book Disaster Planning: A How-to-do-it Manual, published by Neal-Schuman Publishers in 2005.

After a while, I revisited my first passion: writing magical, adventurous, and romantic sagas with heroes that reflected the diverse world I inhabit because, frankly, it was frustrating seeing black representation only in terms of social injustices and our struggles. By and by, I found my voice and produced two award-winning novels. The first was Progenie, 2019. It is currently out of print.

More recently,I published Daughter of Hades, 2021. It is a Historical novel set in 17th century Caribbean. Among the novel's many awards, it received the Grand Prize for the Chaucer Award for Pre-1750 Historical Fiction category of the Chantincleer International Book Awards, and it was shortlisted for the Hawthorne Prize.

Currently, I rarely leave the confines of my home as I work remotely as an IT Analyst from 9 to 5, and from 5 to 9, I am writing. I do leave the house to travel. Once a year, I try to get to Paris and a little town called Les Trois Moutiers to help renovate the castle
