- About Me:
- The youngest of five siblings, the first seeds of Mary Rajotte's writing career were sown in grade school, where she penned her first piece, If I Were An Apple.
However, those early days of innocence were not to last, as Mary took a turn down a darker road, where her Wednesday Addams pigtails were perhaps a harbinger of the spookiness that was to come.
Residing in Toronto, Canada, Mary's penchant for atmospheric ambient and industrial music, creepy small towns and the exploration of myth, dream and nightmare is evidenced in her horror & dark fiction tales, each infused with a twisted, Twilight Zone atmosphere.
Creepy Crawleys, Mary's flash fiction piece, is set to be published in Shroud Publishing's anthology, Northern Haunts: 100 Terrifying New England Tales in 2008.

I have a road trip, of sorts, ahead of me in a few hours. A zig-zag across the transit system of Chicago. I’m heading up north, but first I have to take the 55th Street bus to an artist friend’s place and drop off a few autographed books. There is [...]
The Ritual of Fine-Tuning My Writing
Most writers I know have rituals. These run the gamut from adjusting their desks a certain way to writing by candlelight to setting a glass of perfectly innocent booze on fire before each writing project as a sacrifice to the Writing Ancestors. They may sound silly, or wasteful (perfectly good booze, after all) or unintuitive, [...]
Thanksgiving
Friends and relatives around he world sing the same song: “We don’t have Thanksgiving here.” Here is New Zealand, South Africa, England, Israel…and on and on. This year, because we are down to three of us—my guardian angel/chef and one friend who lives alone—I stopped to think about what that means.
“We don’t have [...]
In love as it is in war
I promised some friends (and students) that I would talk about how one goes about writing a successful sex scene. There are a lot of theories about this–one school, for example, believes that a successful sex scene should titillate. (Do they believe a successful dinner scene should make you hungry? I write my dinner scenes [...]
“genre vs literary” in the days of the Technorenaissance
1
I was hanging out in a writer’s forum and came across the age-old question of how do you define genre and literary? which always turns into genre vs literary: genre types bash the literati for lacking plot (which is absurd), while the literati bash the genre-ati for lacking everything else (equally absurd).
One person [...]
