Mia Zachary is an American author of contemporary romance novels.
Biography
Zachary first began writing as a child, creating picture books with simple dialogue for her younger brother. In the late 1980s, she began her first novel, a medieval historical romance, but did not finish it because of the research it necessitated. In 1998, she formed an online publishing company. At a Romance Writers of America conference in 2000, she was inspired by a story told by a fellow author, Kelsey Roberts, about finding a single red shoe under the bed of her hotel room. She wrote a manuscript, Red Shoes And a Diary, which did not sell well through her online company. She rewrote the story and submitted it to Harlequin Temptation, which rejected the story. Zachary entered two of the love scenes from her novel into Harlequin's Summer Blaze writing contest. She won the contest, a chance to have an editor read her full manuscript. The editor purchased the novel, which was published in April 2003.
Zachary says that she writes "romance fiction [because it] is stories about friendship and intimacy, love and respect, commitment, and responsibility".
