ⓘ About M.P. McDonald
M.P. McDonald is a thriller and post-apocalyptic fiction novelist who is known for penning novels with a reluctant hero and a psychic twist. Her work has often been compared to the works of the likes of William Forstchen and Stephen King who have been some of her favorite authors. Besides those two, she enjoys the works of indie author Lou Cadle, particularly her “Gray’ series. She usually avoids reading any post-apocalyptic fiction as most of what she likes to read is historical World War II fiction. McDonald does most of her writing in sprints with other writers since she finds it hard to write alone. She also works better with deadlines, which is why she loves to come up with preorders to create the deadline and battle her procrastination. “No Good Deed” by M.P.
