Miranda Phillips Walker

Miranda Phillips Walker, a West Virginia-born author who lived in Baltimore for some 30 years, is uniquely qualified to pen The Well Meaning Killer, a suspenseful mystery and an expose of the corruption and graft in the underbelly of our nation's foster care programs and systems. Walker, a registered nurse for more than 17 years, also holds a psychology degree with a minor in sociology. Her life in medicine has been far more exciting and colorful than any program on TV such as ER or Grey's Anatomy. Miranda says of The Well Meaning Killer, "I understand the demons that drive Crusher, the killer, and I have insights into Child Protective Services that few possess. Going into the writing of this novel, I was armed with the right tools and weapons to make it work. I trust that the reader will agree." Miranda has enjoyed writing from an early age, using writing and the love of music to comfort her from her turbulent upbringing. When asked about her childhood, Miranda laughs and says "I'd've been better raised by a pack of wolves." But being a positive person, she has used her life experiences to help her patients, and now to hopefully bring entertainment to her readers. She can be found everywhere on the web and at her site website at: www.mirandaphillipswalkerbooks.com
