Miriam has been a voracious reader ever since she learned how to read. She got the idea for this book in the fifth grade, and has now fulfilled her dream of publishing a book before high school. Miriam lives in central Texas with her parents and four siblings, two dogs, and a cat. Besides reading, Miriam enjoys art, skating, and spending time with her family. She loves traveling as well, and is just waiting for the day when she can time travel like her characters.
