About Mia

"Creating and crafting stories of love and romance for the reader with a discriminating taste for fine literature. Nothing is too much and everything is not quite enough. Let me pamper and spoil you a little--JUST BECAUSE..."--Mia A. Moore

      Mia A. Moore grew up in Illinois approximately thirty miles west of Chicago. She studied English literature at the University of Illinois at Chicago, earning a Bachelors of Arts on Mother's Day. While caring for her young family, she continued her studies at the university, attending graduate school and teaching undergraduate English composition.

 

      Mia has been making up and writing stories of love and romance since as long as she can remember. She has always had a passion for literature, writing, communication, rhetoric, and language. Even though, it may seem as if she was always destined to traverse the path of the romance writer, her vision was not always so clear when it came to her destiny. Recent life changes, like Lasik, have brought destiny in clear, full focus. Mia is ready and it is on! Her debut novel, Tonight I Give In, was released June 2007, by Xpress Yourself Publishing. The novel recently made Urban Reviews' Best Reviewed Books of 2007 as a "Near Classic." She is currently working on her second novel.

 

      As a writer, she endeavors to create well-developed, multi-layered stories of love and romance with believable human beings at the center. Mia writes novels with perfectly flawed, round, dynamic characters located within the framework of emotionally complex storylines, defined by friendship, romance, intimacy, sensuality, passion, and love. She desires to entertain with engrossing stories in which the reader will become emotionally invested, free of gratuitous drama—drama just for the sake of drama without a well-constructed purpose. Her ultimate goal is to make you laugh, cry, think, and believe.

 

      On a personal note, Mia loves spending time with her family. When she is not writing, her interests include reading, shopping, cooking, and volunteering. She also likes listening to music, playing an occasional video game, and watching sports. Mia is an avid sports fan. During March Madness, she is seriously into “bracketology” and practically sequesters herself at game time (there really is nothing like the tournament). Her favorite channel is the NFL Network. Mia really loves football like a man, but truly appreciates certain aspects of the game like a woman. ;-)

Author's Note

I hope you enjoy the excerpts from my debut novel, Tonight I Give In. :-)
