Her debut novel, CITY OF A THOUSAND DOLLS is being published by HarperCollins.In her daily life, Miriam is a wife, a terrible housekeeper and a dealer of words at the local bookshop. In her internal life, she imagines fight scenes, obsesses about anthropology, nature shows and British television, and reads far too many books.
