Mira Falling wants to be a star, with her name up in lights and a horde of fans who adore her. But achieving fame and fortune can be difficult when you're stuck in a small, backwater town like Harvest Bay and have a brilliant brother who overshadows your every move. Jack Falling is the golden boy of the Bay but Mira suspects he has a darker side especially when she starts receiving messages from long-dead, infamous murderers, which appear to incite her to commit unthinkable crimes against those who stand in the way of her dream. One such person is Lily Holborn, the twin sister of Sebastian Holborn, whose wealthy family moves into the house across the street. Handsome and edgy, Mira sees in Sebastian an opportunity to escape Harvest Bay and pursue her dream of stardom. But Lily and Jack, and perhaps the whole town, have other plans for Mira.

A strange thing happened as I sat down to write this bio... I discovered that talking about myself is harder than writing fiction. So, maybe I should just make stuff up instead. Okay, I could write that I'm a doctor ? well, actually, that's true. I do have a DCA from a university, here in Queensland, where I live. Hmm, that's true too. I do live in Qld, and so love being outdoors, especially if it involves coffee! Not doing so good with the making-stuff-up bit. Um, all right. I could write that I have two published novels called 'Mira Falling' and 'Sisterhood' - my third, Shroudeaters', is due for release any day now! - and that I'm writing a fourth novel (a sci-fi baby this time), and that I love to write short stories and have a few published ones floating around. But all of that would be true, so instead I'll say this about me... I believe in writer's block and love deadlines, bad punctuation, and bubblegum-flavoured ice-cream. Ah, now that's some good fiction!
Happy Reading,
Maria :)
