T. L. McCoy

T.L. McCoy is an award-winning author, registered nurse, and former educator. More importantly, she is the grandmother of a child diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome, a rare and sometimes catastrophic seizure disorder. One fine morning, McCoy sat down to write an adult thriller, but then she came across a study that said few children’s books on the market feature disabled protagonists. She immediately knew she had to take action. The thought of her granddaughter not having heroes she could relate to in the books she reads changed McCoy’s trajectory, leading the writer to set her adult thriller aside and work on what has become a mission to change the current literary landscape. Delilah Versus the Ghastly Grim has since hit the Amazon best seller list for the categories of Children's Epilepsy Health and Visionary and Metaphysical Fantasy.
