A storyteller from the very beginning, M. M. Cochran has been producing books for as long as she can remember. The best part? She chased her dream until it became reality. Now, Cochran is the bestselling author of YA mystery/romance BETWEEN THE OCEAN AND THE STARS, which became a finalist in the 2023 National Indie Excellence Awards. She is also the author of THE BUTTON COLLECTOR, a psychological thriller.
The South Carolina native got her start in the newspaper business at 19 years old and has won multiple awards for her work. Her debut novel published in 2022, followed by her second novel in 2024. A journalist by day, an author by night, Cochran's journey of storytelling is just beginning. She now lives in Nashville, TN, with her husband.
