ABOUT ME
When she is not writing fairytales and children's stories, Mia can be found reading, going on early-morning runs, listening to Metallica, or Irish step dancing. She lives for Autumn, Kerrygold butter, and freshly-brewed espresso. She fell in love with the color pink on accident, and now finds excuses to incorporate it into as many things as possible. She likes tarot cards, rose quartz, Gentleness, and agrees with Hans Christian Andersen that every person's life is a fairytale.
