About this author
Before everyone shouts “Don’t give up your day job!” Ahem... I already did.
I left my job as an insurance clerk in June last year with all the regret of a woman wiping dog dirt from her shoe, and I have branched out into writing fiction.
Miranda is not my real name. I thought some of the more strait-laced mums at he school gate might look askance at the antics of Kara and Jana. And one or two of the dads might want to discuss my work in greater detail… Err, no thanks.
I am a depressingly ordinary English mum, but I’m lucky enough to have a great bunch of girlfriends who are always there for me and who are prepared to read my first drafts and laugh uproariously/roll their eyes/tgive me their handy hints when I’m going wrong. You could say it’s a joint effort in some ways. In terms of moral support that’s certainly true.
But since I am the one who parks her ample ass in the chair and puts in the hours at the keyboard, I am the one who gets to put her name on the covers.
I am lucky with my friends but even luckier with my readers. I am profoundly grateful to any and all who read my work, because that, in the end, is why writers write. Without readers, there would be no point.
