Biography

McGuire was born and currently resides in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She went to Northern Oklahoma College, the University of Central Oklahoma, and Autry Technology Center where she graduated with a degree in radiography.[2] She worked for many years as a radiographer and waited until writing could be her full-time career before quitting her job as a radiographer.[3]

Self-publishing and traditional publishing

McGuire published her first four novels, Providence, Requiem, Beautiful Disaster, and Eden through self-publishing. Once Beautiful Disaster did so well she was offered a publishing contract with Atria Books for the rights to Beautiful Disaster and its sequel, Walking Disaster. Atria Books also published Beautiful Oblivion, but when it came time for McGuire to release her next novel, Happenstance, she decided to self-publish because she realized she would make more money in the long run by keeping her own digital rights.[4]

Beautiful Disaster

In 2012, Warner Bros Studio optioned the film rights for Beautiful Disaster, but the movie never went to production and Warner Bros optioned ended May 13, 2014. Currently there are no plans for Beautiful Disaster to become a movie.[5]
