Who Am I...

And what is this website about?

I am Miranda Marie, and this website is a little bit about everything that makes me who I am. It's about book reviews, about writing and being a published author, and about living with disabilities. It's about creative photography and literature, about happiness in difficult situations, and a little bit about my cat, Pineapple. I wear a lot of hats (as the saying goes) and this is my place to share each of those things with all of you, if you choose to take the ride with me. It's about everything that I am, everything I'm dreaming of becoming, and everything I want to do (and am doing). If you're interested in book talk (and reviews), writing and self-publishing tips, and a peek into what it's like to live with disabilities, then hop on board and fill out the "join my newsletter" form at the bottom of the page.

Is it going to be a little crazy? Definitely. Rather messy as I figure things out? Absolutely. But I'd love to have you aboard.

My Disability

(AKA Ehlers Danlos Syndrome)
I live with an invisible illness, meaning that if you saw me hanging out at a cafe somewhere, you probably wouldn't know I was any different than anyone else. The only outward sign of my disability are the braces I wear on my legs in order to walk, and most people just assume that I've been in a car accident when they see them. (I get asked about them so often that my sisters have started to tell me that I should make up epic tales to tell people when they ask. Such as: "my parachute failed to open when I was skydiving in the Bahamas." Ha. Me, skydiving. Nice one.)

But EDS (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) is much more complicated than that. Aside from having joints that slip out of place very easily, EDS patients suffer from hundreds of varying symptoms and secondary conditions that are unique to every patient. No two cases of EDS are the same. You can learn more about the condition by checking out the page below.
