Mia Lane
Mia lives in Vancouver on Canada’s beautiful west coast and splits her time between writing, building things out of LEGO, socialising with friends and of course, spending cozy nights in with her English missus. She has been married since 2009 and recently returned to Canada after living in the UK for almost three years. Mia loves adventure, travel, languages, empowering women and laughing ‘til she cries. She’s been writing since she was old enough to pick up a pen.
