Mylee J. Miller
Mylee J. Miller is an American author of fantasy, mystery, fairytale, horror, contemporary, and many genres in between. Inspired by the stories she grew up listening to at her bedside, alongside the mental disabilities she experiences, she hopes to bring more representation from the marginalized communities she's part of into the fiction literary sphere. Addicted to all things epic, dark, and emotional, most of her projects include characters with big flaws and bigger hearts, with themes that unravel the idea of what it truly means to persevere against terrible odds.Mylee aims to be a self-published and traditionally published writer, and is best known for moderating Discord Servers for writing communities, sobbing over fictional characters in books she's recently read, and cooking a mean Italian Sausage Tortellini Soup.

Underneath The Forest Forsaken
Hester and Malcolm have known for their entire lives that magic keeps their families alive in the isolated, enchanted village where they live - and that their magic is survived by sacrifice. But when the other families in their village dwindle until there's no one left but their own bloodlines, they're pressured to kill each other. On the eve of the day the sacrifice is to be made, however, a solution presents itself. A sentient maze, a bargain with a God, and the undead - either made to be their salvation, or the cause of their downfall.
