Miriam Thor started writing in second grade and never stopped. Her first (unpublished) book was an illustrated children's book about seals that is probably still on her mom's shelf. Miriam writes Christian fiction, primarily contemporary romance and YA, both contemporary and fantasy. Her published works include Listening to the Rain, A Kringle Family Christmas, and Her First Noel. Miriam earned a bachelor's degree in American Sign Language and elementary education. Currently, she resides in Alabama with her husband and six adorable cats. She is a member of ACFW and a huge nerd who likes to include dragons in her stories when possible.
