Miranda Rijks is the author of 26 psychological thrillers, many of which have been Amazon bestsellers. She lives in Sussex, England with her Dutch husband and black Labrador.

Her fast-paced, twisty thrillers are inspired by scary things that have happened to her or places she has visited.

Miranda turned to writing after recovering from Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare bone cancer. She's so grateful that she's now a full-time author and living the dream!

I wrote a novel inspired by my experiences called Don't Call Me Brave and then wrote a couple of psychological thrillers, just because they're the books I most enjoy writing. I got signed by my current publishers and in the past two and a half years, they've published eleven of my psychological thrillers. It's always been my dream to be a full time writer and now that's come true!(less)
Miranda Rijks I ask my characters lots of questions. If they don’t answer me, I walk (or in my case often hobble) the dog.

“The truth is, until something dreadful happens to you, you don’t know how you’ll react.”
Miranda Rijks, Violets Are Blue: an addictive psychological thriller

“Sometimes kindness can be as blindsiding as grief.”
Miranda Rijks, The Arrangement

“I flinch. I would prefer hatred from my wife because at least that’s a true emotion, and don’t they say that love is just a small step from hate, whereas indifference is the most cutting of all.”
Miranda Rijks, The House Swap
