Miriam R DumitraWhen she isn't writing, Miriam R. Dumitra can be found drawing, blacksmithing, contributing to theatre productions, or (currently) sitting in front of her laptop, attempting to write an author bio. Originally from Austria and Romania (and with a fiveyear stint spent in the Philippines), she has put her cultural and linguistic experience into practice by writing poetry, penning flash memoirs, and helping translate a German musical into English. She is currently based in Victoria, Canada, where she studies theatre and creative writing during the day and-predictably-sleeps at night. Brightshade is her debut novel. More of her work (and an in-depth look at the Camorin Continent) can be found on her website https: //miriamrdumitra.com/ Read More Read Less
