- 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.

Okay, I am actually quite afraid
So I know the last time I blogged here, I proudly proclaimed I had no fear. Well. That was specific to the new publishing wilderness. I have tons of fear. I’m full of the stuff.

Dream Versus Time, Life, the World, And All The Really Important Things
The holidays are coming. We’re arriving at an intersection of worlds – the real and the imagined, outer and inner, concrete and symbolic, the past and the now.

Secret Agent Man
Secret agent man, secret agent man,
They’ve given you a number and taken away your name.
Show of hands: how many of you are happy with your literary agent? My guess is that probably fewer than half of you are raising your hands. In my writing life I have had three agents. When I was with agent [...]
Three Editing Tips
So the first draft is finished, and now you have to edit the sonofabitch.
Most writers don’t particularly enjoy the task of rewriting/editing, but I do. Not sure why, but I find it sometimes more rewarding than the initial writing.
Now, for me, the best way [...]
