About the Author

Mikayla’s journey to authorship began as an only child with a vivid imagination and a voracious appetite for reading and writing. She further cultivated those pursuits upon her acceptance into the Theatre program at the prestigious Governor’s School for the Arts in Virginia. Mikayla then went on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication with a minor in Theatre from George Mason University. As a newlywed, she moved to Baltimore and began using her spare time to write her first full-length novel, Shades of Secrecy, which both stimulated and was inspired by her kaleidoscopic dreams.

Phew! What a journey that was! 24 hours after entering Kathryn's world, I was finally able to re-enter my own. I haven't read that solidly in years!

Each chapter was written in a way that kept me wholly invested in the cause and a desire to press on toward answers and resolution... I'd highly recommend this book and can not wait to see another from this writer!
