Author Catie O'Neill

Summary:

Join The Book Babes as we chat with Romantasy and Sci Fi Romance author Catie O’Neill about her writing journey and process. We talk to her about her love of writing interest genre mashups. As an engineer, she loves writing STEM FMCs in her Sci Fi Romances and other strong female characters in her Romantasy books. She tells us about designing her own covers, and her connection with an incredible artist who creates gorgeous sprayed edges for her. She tells us about the very different MMCs in her why choose Romantasy series and which character is the most like her.

Catie’s question for listeners is: “Which type of MMC do you prefer? The morally grey bad boy or the kind considerate green flag character? Drop your answer in the comments or visit The Book Babes’ social media to answer there.

About Our Guest:

Growing up in upstate New York, I rarely saw females in STEM fields. While earning my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, I was often the only woman in the room. Those experiences now fuel my stories, featuring fierce female protagonists who aren't afraid to prove their worth in male-dominated spaces. Because let's face it—we've all had that moment when someone assumed we were the secretary instead of the engineer in charge.

When I'm not building worlds or crunching numbers in my infamous spreadsheets (yes, I'm that kind of organized), you'll find me hiking with my beloved Corgi, Kieran (named after the FBAA character—fellow book lovers, you know who I mean!). My other passions include experimental cooking (my crispy smashed potatoes are legendary) and tending to my vegetable garden.
