One girl. Two stories. Hasn't everyone wondered, What if? Meet Fiona Doyle. The thick ridges of scar tissue on her face are from an accident twelve years ago. Fiona can't even find the courage to look her crush, uber-jock Trent MacKinnon, straight in his blue eyes, so she sure isn't brave enough to sing any of the songs she's written at open mic night. But something's changing in Fiona... And what if there hadn't been an accident? Meet Fi Doyle. Fi is the top-rated high school lacrosse player in the state. She's got more important things to deal with than her best friend, Trent, who wants more ever since the kiss. But when an unlucky move on the field screws everything up, she loses the thing she's best at. Can Fi fight back? In her daring debut novel, Moriah McStay gives us the rare opportunity to see what might have happened if things were different. Luck may determine our paths, but maybe it's who we are that determines our luck.

Moriah McStay
Headshot croppedI grew up in Memphis, TN, so I love music and fried pickles in the deepest part of my soul. My hair has been every style and color imaginable (except for pink, though I still may try that one.) I went to college in Chicago. My freshman year, I had to get written permission from all my professors to take final exams early, as I was needed home to be a Princess in the Cotton Carnival. There were about thirty of us princesses, and we all wore the same pink, floor-length, pleated taffeta gown. At all the parties, we looked like a school of giant, land-based shrimp. I had picked Northwestern for its Creative Writing program. I’m still unclear where I veered off-course, and how I ended up with a BA in economics. It took me two graduate degrees and seven jobs before I came back around to writing. After a few years of churning out some downright awful novels, I finally got the hang of it. Now that I write full-time, the noisy characters in my head are much easier to control. I love Mr. Darcy, guacamole, Hob Nobs, indie music, consignment stores, Harry Potter, and love stories. I’m really not a fan of shopping, heights or spicy food. I suck at reading directions; however, I’m an excellent parallel parker. Like, excellent. I live in Memphis with my husband and three daughters. To date, none have expressed interest in being a Princess in Cotton Carnival, though one has had blue hair.
