Mackie Burt
Mackie Burt has always believed we make our own luck. From a very young age, Mackie nurtured her two loves: reading and acting. Realizing that you control your own destiny, she left "traditional" high school at 16 and moved out to Los Angeles, where she finished her degree in three years, while writing her dream acting role in her first novel, ABOVE, the first in a series of 4 novels about one of life's final transitions.
With a desire to give teens something to relate to, Mackie continues to write the ABOVE Series, while auditioning for acting roles and finishing Book 1 of her 2nd novel series, THE GRAY AREA. Currently residing in Los Angeles, Mackie's heart will always be with her family in New Jersey, but New York City will always be the place that sparked her dream.
“I’m curious about why there’s so much honor given to death, when there is no honor in losing someone you love.”
“I wonder if they talk about my ending as a tragedy. If the words would have and should have clung their talons behind my name, or if their sentences always have the word was instead of is.”
“One of the best parts of being a Guardian is that we get a chance to grow and change. We get to exist in both worlds. We know the secret of life and have the knowledge of death”
“There were millions of different infinities and they weren’t only measured in time, but in people. And in each one, I could find a reason to matter forever.”
“You know, darkness is a funny thing. Little by little, it creeps up on you and before you know it, you can’t escape it”
