Fantasy, romance indie author M.B. Atkins lives in North Carolina with her partner and 3 insane and crazy cats (Iris, Freya, and Finn) and her melodramatic border collie Bella. When she is not hard at work writing her debut novel, City of Promise and Light (coming out September 2025) or plotting new stories on sticky notes, she spends her time reading any and all fiction, fantasy, and romance books she can get her hands on, crocheting blankets, scarves and hats for friends and family, gardening, watching the birds arguing over food while pretending to write, or hanging with her partner.
