Mira LandryBorn and raised in British Columbia, Mira Landry has lived on four continents, traveled to over eighty countries, and now resides in Boulder, Colorado with her husband where she still seeks adventure in both real life and on the page. Her weekends are spent seeking solitude on the least popular peaks in the Rocky Mountains, reading (literally anything), or knitting a sweater that likely won’t fit her properly. She is on the Board of Directors for the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers and was co-chair for the Colorado Gold Conference. This year she is furthering her love of storytelling as a student in Simon Fraser University’s Writers’ Studio and aiming to elevate other writers in their creative journeys along the way.
Mira loves reading upmarket fiction, ideally literary explorations with commercial appeal, or mystery, thriller, and romance plots that are heavily character driven with stunning prose. She loves select urban fantasy, magical realism, and science fiction where the speculative aspects are well-woven amid the protagonist’s journey.
