edit data

M.M. Evans is an author of emotional, thought-provoking contemporary fiction. Her writing focuses on the complexities of control, deceptive family structures, and the slow, beautiful process of rediscovering one's identity. She writes the kinds of stories that linger long after the final page is turned—perfect for late-night reading and deep book club discussions.

ONE ON EACH SIDE is her first novel.

True to her love of peaceful living, she built a bungalow big enough for two and is now happily married. When not lost in the pages of a book or working on her next manuscript, you will find her in the kitchen tending to her sourdough starter or making some sort of sauce using fresh tomatoes grown in her own little vegetable garden.
