Miranda Nading

Miranda Nading lived and worked in the National Parks with her husband, Lance, and her Pomchi’s Boomer and Missy. As of April 2017, Miranda has begun writing full-time and her family has returned to Arkansas where she grew up. When not writing, working, or spending time with her family, she can be found reading, scuba diving, exploring, or getting up to mischief.

After a turbulent childhood, Miranda spent her young adulthood as a single mother in the military and law enforcement. She’s spent the last 20 years working in Administrative Management, exploring anything science related, and looking for her next big adventure.

Though she started writing short stories in the third grade, she tackled her first novel-length manuscript, Witch Hunt in 1992. As a single mother, time was a precious commodity and though she had little to spare, she continued writing and completed her second manuscript, Exodus, in 1994. Echoes of Harmony followed in 1996 and would become her breakout novel in 2014.

Her other works include Caliban, Canyon Echoes and the emerging Extinction Series novels Genesis, Flash Point, and Judas. The fourth book in the series, Asylum and an action adventure are slated for release in 2017. Miranda also participates in a short story anthology that raises money for charity.

The genres Miranda prefers to write are also among her favorite reads: Thrillers, Science Fiction, and Horror, all with a suspenseful edge that leaves the reader riding the edge of their seat and turning the pages. The Extinction Series is her first exploration into Post-Apocalyptic suspense with a hard dystopian edge and more than a little science fiction. Though she has read some historical romance, she prefers romance to be the seasoning in the dish, not the main course.

Her favorite writers include, but are in no way limited to: Agatha Christie, Edgar Allan Poe, Sir Author Conan Doyle, T.S. Eliot, Robert Frost, Robert Browning, Michael Crichton, Dean Koontz, and Stephen King. These are authors whose work she rereads once every year or two as, she says, it is like visiting an old friend.
