About the Author

Miski Harris was born and raised in New York City with her younger brother and sister. She worked as a critical care nurse, served in the military, raised five amazing sons and traveled extensively. When Miski sets her mind to achieve something there is no force on earth that can stop her.

Through all the organized chaos that has often defined her life, her one constant has been a love of books. Reading has always been a mainstay for her, and she is rarely seen without her Nook on which she has reportedly downloaded over 2,000 novels. A woman of boundless imagination, she desires to give life to the characters who maintained residence in her imagination. With that in mind, she has finally put pen in hand to fulfill a lifelong desire to write books of her own. She published her first M/M romance novel; Don’t Ask Don’t Tell after a close friend and author challenged her to join the Nation Novel Writing Month initiative. At the end of that month, the first draft of her book was complete. Several edits later, Don’t Ask Don’t Tell made its debut on the Amazon and Kindle Unlimited bookshelves.

Ask anyone who knows Miski to use one word to describe her and they would say fierce. A prior military commander once defined her as a “tender warrior”. Friends, patients, and associates have always found a strong advocate in this woman who is not afraid to speak her mind.

Miski believes three things: challenge is just another word to define worlds to conquer and lines to cross; love and faith are the most powerful forces in the universe, and the only thing that hinders success is to fail to try. With that in mind, she invites you to join her in a world where love is second to nothing and life is the greatest adventure of all.

Miski resides in Prince Georges County, Maryland coexisting with two precocious cats: Freddie and Marshall.

Summary: A Cascade of Moments is the new, enchanting second installment of 'The Fae Souls' series. My life started anew when I arrived at Prince Eldran's mansion with my memories absent and my future uncertain. I met a beautiful woman there named Sorcha and we fell in love, creating something special that brought our lives happiness and wonder. When Prince Eldran granted us permission to remain on his island, we built a life together. It couldn't have been more perfect. Years passed, and our love blossomed. With time on our hands, Sorcha chose to help in the mansion's kitchen, while I worked in the gardens and joined the island's guard detail. It worked well for us, until word reached us that King Auberon and Queen Carisse were returning, and a failed treaty brought about threats of war from a long-standing enemy. It was important to me to protect Sorcha, our home, and the friends we'd made on the island during our years there. I assumed we might have to fight, but I could only hope there was a chance for us to stay together and make it through - safe and sound. A Cascade of Moments is a romantic novella of just over 20,000 words, which contains strong steamy content and language.
