ABOUT ME
Miranda began publishing books in 2022 and has been writing since high school. It was always her dream to become a published author, but she wasn’t sure how to do that. When she discovered reverse harem books, she knew it was time to share her stories. She has plans to write paranormal romance, omegaverse, dark romance, and contemporary—all reverse harem/why choose/polyam stories.
Growing up a Navy brat, Miranda has lived in many places. She currently makes her home in Piney Flats, TN with her husband and her two adorable corgis, Luna and Trixie. Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of it, it’s a teeny tiny town less than an hour from the Tennessee/Virginia border. When not writing, Miranda spends most of her time reading, playing video games with her husband, or playing Dungeons and Dragons like a true geek. She also has an almost unhealthy obsession with corgis—so don’t be surprised if she brings them up.
