C.J. Miranda is the pen name for a romance lover whose last name the majority of people cannot pronounce.

She's 26, living in Louisiana with her boyfriend and their two dogs, and loves pasta almost as much as she hates cooking.
​
She's been writing and posting freely online since around thirteen or fourteen years old, and it was only the internet who knew about it until she finally told her mom about her passion at sixteen.

Nowadays she's a little more confident in letting people know she loves to write romance novels, and wants it to become her day job so she can sit on her balcony with her little Boston Terrier, drinking coffee and losing herself in her daydreams. ...more

At least, I always had the mental image of their first night on the front porch, and I knew it was going to drive me crazy if I didn't eventually build off of that.

So I sat down and started planning out plot ideas, and it kind of just spiraled from there. It's the one book I've written that I had the entire plot planned before I actually started writing. (less)

If you're upcoming book, Back to You, was made into a movie, who would you pick to play the main characters?

I've always had Chris Hemsworth (when he has short hair, anyway) in the back of my mind for Weston. Just the way he looks, and how he always has this traditionally masculine aura to him no matter how he's behaving.

For Iris, I wasn't exactly sure. Since she's the narrator of the book, I saw her more as a voice in my head than an actual, physical person. But I've been playing around and looking at pics of famous people, and the ones I could see playing Iris are Adelaide Kane from Reign or Lucy Hale from Pretty Little Liars. Just maybe with lighter hair.
