Miriam Elisabeth Moore is originally from Atlanta, Georgia, but she is also from all the many other places she and her family cuddled cats, read books, drank tea, and called home. Such homes include: Southern Pines, North Carolina; Louisville, Kentucky; Hamden, Connecticut; and Bangalore, India. Miriam currently lives in St. Paul, Minnesota where she studies English at Macalester College and does fun things like making messes with her watercolors, crocheting hats for her friends, singing show tunes in libraries, and quoting Kurt Vonnegut to strangers in tea shops.
