About
Miranda Mayer is a tree without roots. Raised by culturally diverse parents, brought up in the heart of Europe, thrown unceremoniously into the US in her twenties and left in a state of culture-shock; to this day, Miranda has no idea where she really belongs. She may never discover that place. Miranda can speak four languages. She has a penchant for the past, and is an avid historic costumer. She has been an equestrian all her life, and currently owns a rather large and demanding Belgian draught horse who throws her often and keeps her in check. She is currently attempting to train the obstinate horse to for side-saddle. Miranda is addicted to Jane Austen, requires an all-you-can-eat buffet of reading material, and has recently discovered the delights of her Nook. She is also a proud self-professed geek and enjoys many geek-related activities and entertainments, including her costuming, her obsession with Star Trek and its many franchises, the Whedonverse, BSG and Caprica and Star Wars of course. She is a huge fan of The Guild to boot--but she does not venture into any MMOs, because she remembers losing a good portion of her mid-twenties being absorbed into Battle.Net (with dial-up no less!) and becoming dangerously vitamin-D deficient. She is not quite the kind that is courageous enough to be found wearing Princess-Leia gear at a convention, but she is hard-core enough to endure an entire marathon of the Star Trek movies in one sitting and can sometimes be found watching the entire Firefly series on a binge. Miranda is an affable, warm hearted person with a forthright, and often quirky sense of humour. She writes from her heart, and tries very hard to make her characters are real and three-dimensional as possible. Her unpredictable and rather Attention-Deficit-Disordered nature guarantees that her stories will take you to unexpected places. |
