Fantasy, Retelling & mystery Author

Mylee J. Miller

Mylee J. Miller is an American author of fantasy, retelling, and mystery novels. Inspired by the stories she grew up listening to at her bedside, alongside the 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 author. She's best known for masterminding the twice-annual literary pitch event entitled #PosterPit, creating the literary-focused podcast Books & Beyond, obsessing over books she's recently devoured, and cooking a mean Italian Sausage Tortellini Soup. When not writing, she's screaming along to Hozier and walking her cats.Mylee is currently pursuing degrees in both History and English in hopes of becoming an editor or agent one day.

Underneath The Forest Forsaken

Hester and Malcolm have known for their entire lives that magic keeps their families alive in the isolated, cursed village where they live - and that their magic is survived by sacrifice. But when the other families in their village dwindle until there's nothing left to sacrifice but their own bloodlines, they're pressured to kill each other. On the eve of the day the annual sacrifice is to be made, however, an unexpected solution presents itself: a sentient maze, a bargain with a meant-to-be-deceased guide, and the overgrown undead - either their ticket to salvation, or the impending catalyst to their ruination.

These Poisonous Flowers

Estranged sisters Lilith and Taven work at competing boutiques: one that sells poisonous flowers and one that sells poisonous fruits, to those who are in need of them. When they're both approached to kill an ambassador who'll soon arrive at their idyllic homeland with the intent to start a war, upending their work and their lives, they jump on the opportunity to destroy him. Too late, they realize that they'll need to work together to do so—and that they're both starting to fall for the one who hired them.

Silence, Finneas, Reverie, and Vincent are four of twenty heirs who wake up far from their homes in their respective kingdoms, locked inside a deteriorating castle wherein there's only one way to escape: kill one of the heirs they've been trapped with—and get away with it. As the heirs learn the one who escapes is the one who will become the next High King or Queen, bloodbaths ensue… until a devastating truth is revealed: they might not be facing a competition at all, but a punishment. And the only way to get out of it might be trusting in those they trust the least: each other.
