Madrid (EFE) his saga “Months by your side”, which he now completes with “Three months”, centered on the character of Jack Ross.
But behind this success, what there is is a humble young woman (Mallorca, 2000), a no longer a teenager who is in her third year of Psychology and who is unclear about her professional future despite the more than 260,000 copies she has sold with her two previous novels. (Montena).
“I would like to have my own practice, but if I could choose I would like to dedicate myself to writing,” Marcús told EFE without giving up that conditional that he does not detach from when he talks about his future because he knows that this does not depend on her, but on your readers.
Jack Ross recounts his life
Those who have encouraged her to write “Three months”, a kind of literary “spin-off” that offers the version of her character Jack Ross about everything already told in “After December” and “Before December”.
And he has chosen Jack, and not Jen Brown (the other pillar of this story) with the aim of “going deeper into boys”: “girls have always been given more freedom to express our feelings and be empathetic and I wanted show with Jack that they are also empathetic, that the people who are always helping also need to be helped.
So it is this hooligan, but fun and tender character, who tells his own life from his point of view and the germ and development of his love for Brown.
A third installment that has gone on sale sponsored by the legions of readers that Marcús has, who in just 10 minutes sold out the tickets for the signing of copies that the writer did this Saturday in Madrid.
She suffered harassment for being known
But not all that glitters in her life is gold, and although her love for writing is infinite, this trade also led her to suffer bullying just for the fact that at the age of 15 she began uploading her stories to the Wattpad platform (where is the only Spanish in her world top 10) and began to be known.
This led her to spend two years without writing until she realized that despite not doing so during this time, the “teasing” continued.
“I realized that they were always going to criticize me for something and I started writing again,” said this author of ideas as clear as those that ages are currently “infantilizing.”
“If I had a 14-year-old daughter, I wouldn’t let her read some books either, but young people are people who go to high school, who know about relationships, who have explored them or have been told about it. You don’t have to sweeten the world so much ”, she lamented with the aim of asserting that her novels are suitable for children from these ages and for adults, why not.
The jump to the screen
Regarding his books, and their possible adaptations for television -as has happened to other youth super sales such as Blue Jeans- Marcús has stated that “now” he only wants to focus on literature: “I don’t know, I can change just as I I did it because at the age of 15 I didn’t want to make the leap to be published”.
Perhaps it will if “the perfect offer appears”, but until that moment arrives, the writer will continue to expand her creative universe to give her followers those stories thanks to which, a year and a half ago, she was able to stop being a waitress and focus on his passion.
