From the Inside Flap

"A Star in the Making: How would you have liked to have been the first person to read Stephen King's work? Or to have leaned over Mary Shelley's shoulder as she penned Frankenstein? Now you can, sort of. That Miranda will one day be a well known, best selling author is of little doubt. But will you be one of her early readers and as such, entitled to boast "I knew her when..."? There is just something special about finding a talented author and watching them grow. And Miranda is getting better with every word."- review by Jim Brown, author of 24/7, BOOM!, and Black Valley

From the Back Cover

"I really love your stuff." "Enjoyed your sci-fi dystopian thriller in Hot Mess!" "I have my expectations set to a certain level because of your age, but nuts to that. Your dialogue, pacing & suspense building is superb." "I just read 'Missed Call' (from Modern-Day Horrors) and now I've turned my phone off. Just in case."- fans from TwitterPraise for Miranda from Colum McKnight, webmaster of Dreadful Tales:"To say that I was thoroughly impressed by this author would be a total understatement. She brings flair, style, and charisma to a genre that yearns for new authors like this. Her age is continually betrayed by her weighty, oftentimes sophisticated prose - something you don't tend to see from upstarts and younger authors. I can also say that Miranda is the first self-published author I ever actually queried for another book or collection. Doerfler's ability to create dynamic characters at the same time as setting a particularly terrifying setting is the reason I haven't given up on the indie circuit altogether. This is a woman who knows what she wants, and what she wants is to just tell a good story. And that's what she does. She spins a damned good yarn."
