Miranda Parker

Miranda Parker wrote comic romance suspense novels.

She wrote fun, feisty, redemptive bad girl gone good novels, and hoped to write a teen scream horror novel series where the brainy damsel in distress saves the hot jock like most of her novels.

Miranda graduated from Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia [Fried Green Tomatoes and Scream 2 movies were shot here] where she studied Math (because shed loves to solve problems) and Architectural Studies (because she liked to create solutions). She has worked as a journalist, publicist, Architectural preservationist for the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics, and an IT consultant for The Coca Cola Company.

Smart, gorgeous, and too tough for her own good, bail recovery agent and single mom Evangeline Crawford moved to the burbs for a quiet life. Fortunately, it’s not turning out that way…

Angel has to admit she’s feeling restless. The only excitement in her new life is her schoolgirl crush on the town’s new pastor, Justus-too-Hot-to-be-Holy Morgan. But a fateful encounter and a job gone wrong at Club Night Candy in underground Atlanta is about to change all that… Soon, Angel’s trying to save her divazilla twin sister from her big mouth and a scandalous murder charge, and probing a church cover-up-with none other than Justus by her side. But Angel has one more pressing concern: will Bella be ready for kindergarten? Only time will tell for this bad girl gone good whose days are once again far from boring-and hopefully far from numbered…

"Miranda Parker’s debut is deliciously fun! It has the perfect amount of intrigue, romance, action and all-out girl-power!” -Tiffany Warren, author of In the Midst of It All
