About the author

Mia Connor is an up-and-coming author who has had a love affair with literature since childhood.

With books to keep her company throughout the years, Mia — now 45 — has masterfully bridged the gap between reality and her imagination through writing.

Having lived a colorful existence, Mia is able to spin suspenseful paranormal women's fiction stories that both excite and captivate. Losing her father at the age of twenty-five and going through a stormy divorce that almost cost her custody of her two daughters, Mia refuses to be bogged down.

Instead, she uses her new appreciation for life to focus on her passion for writing and leverages the pain, joy, and valuable lessons to pen engrossing books rife with highly relatable, strong female leads.

When she’s not writing, Mia spends her time in Florida with her two wonderful daughters and her two equally lovely cats who — if she’s being honest — are key contributors to her work.
