Beginner’s Pluck - Miranda Manning

Living the country life, Miranda Manning wasn’t really a reader until her twenties. She worked in HR; in a state body, then a secondary college, and finally in a factory.

It wasn’t until she was married with three small children that she started to write.

“It was a hobby,” she says. “And was easy to do from home. I wrote some short stories, and had some published in Woman’s Way magazine. I was shortlisted numerous times for competitions, but never won.”
