- 253: Globally Acclaimed Vegan Author, M.C. Ronen, Writes First of Its Kind Thriller Trilogy Kathleen Gage 34:21
Author M. C. Ronen (Maya Cohen-Ronen) is a New Zealand based vegan, feminist, and animal rights activist. She wrote The Liberation Trilogy out of disappointment at being unable to find mainstream books that avoid banal mentions of animal cruelty acts and/or everyday speciesism. Her deliberate intention was to create an exciting, fast-paced, page-turning fiction series that has a clear ethical undertone and message with a potential appeal to a wide range of readers.
M.C. Ronen has always been a book junkie. She loves fast-paced, suspenseful thrillers, full of plot-twists and cliff-hangers that made her heart race is her preference.
Upon going vegan she discovered to her surprise and dismay that she could no longer enjoy books as she did before.
Suddenly she could no longer find any reading material – at least, not anything that was ‘safe’. Now, every book she picked up, whether recommended to her by a friend, promoted on mainstream media, a best seller, or randomly picked up in the bookstore – every book there was seemed to ooze with at least one of the following: Speciesism, animal cruelty or even blatant anti-vegan sentiments.
Slowly she found herself reading less and less. The wonderful door to a universe of imaginary worlds was closing.
Around 2016 she made a decision – if it didn’t exist, she would write it myself!
This was the catalyst for The Liberation Trilogy being born.
During this episode of the Vegan Visibility Podcast, M.C. Ronen and I dig deep into what led her down the path of writing that she is on. Writing is just one of the many ways she is an animal activist.
