I met Moira in a first draft novel course a couple of years ago. She and I hit it off pretty much instantly, and we formed a “mutual writers’ support group” with some other folks in the course. She is one of the most honest artists I’ve ever encountered. Her work really hits you in the gut and doesn’t let you look away until you feel what she’s going for.
Moira’s story Baby Mama appears in the first issue of Swords Against, and it’ll probably be controversial with the traditionalist sword & sorcery folks. I had a couple of readers decry that there isn’t even a sword in the story! I just told them: Read it again.
Anyway, you’re going to love her story as much as I do.
Moira McMahon hails from the world of screenwriting, where she is a multi-produced television and feature writer. Starting her career as a medical researcher for Grey’s Anatomy, her television credits include Private Practice, Teen Wolf, and DC Superhero Girls. Her award-winning film, A Light Beneath Their Feet, received a four-star review from RogerEbert.com.
She writes absurd satire for the long-running Weekly World News and serious stories about the monsters within us all.
Currently an in-demand consultant for production companies, directors, and writers across genres, she connects storytellers to their muses from the attic of her gingerbread house in Glendale, California.
In her own work, she creates worlds that force characters to do what scares them the most. She believes in magic, long-distance running, and poker.
