About MeiLin Miranda
MeiLin Miranda came back from the dead to write books.
In 2006, she suffered a cardiac arrest, and realized it was high time to get on with writing fiction after 30-plus years of nonfiction.
Currently, she works on the fantasy series "An Intimate History of the Greater Kingdom" and the online fantasy western serial "Scryer's Gulch," and is a co-creator of the shared steampunk fantasy series "The Drifting Isle Chronicles." She lives in Portland, OR with a husband, two kids, two cats, a floppy dog and far, far too much yarn.
All of her works are released under a Creative Commons license, and none of her books have DRM (digital rights management)--you can use them on any device you please.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add stuff to the site--recipes, forum topics and all that?
You have to be registered, first off. Once you are, you will see a menu appear in the left hand column, under your login name. Click on Create content, and you'll see a full list of things you can do here.
Why am I a Cheez-It?
Because you're not registered. It's a long story. (That link leads to the wiki--be careful, there are spoilers in there, though a lot of the information is outdated and in the process of revision.)
What does BPAL stand for?
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, a perfume company that MeiLin is haplessly addicted to.
