Miriam A Averna lives in Milton Keynes with her two cats and partner, but is originally from the South of England and was born in sunny Sicily. She enjoys writing flash fiction, short stories and is half way through her first novel. She began writing when she was a kid but only recently started again, after attending a creative writing course which spurred her on to do it properly. She is enjoying entering various competitions as her writing changes and has recently had her short story ‘I Didn’t Like Those Shoes Anyway’ shortlisted in the Kishboo e-magazine.
