Mimika Cooney is an award-winning writer with a global perspective and a passion for strong characters and second chances. She writes clean romance with feeling. Emotionally complex love stories with strong character arcs, swoon without spice, and just enough spark to keep you flipping pages. These aren’t fluffy romcoms, they’re heartfelt, layered journeys with real stakes, second chances, and soul-deep kisses.

Born in South Africa and now based in the US, Mimika blends her background in neuroscience, entrepreneurship, marketing, photography, and personal coaching into stories that make you feel seen. 

She believes love and faith go hand in hand, and every good romance deserves a little heartbreak, a lot of healing, and one unforgettable happily ever after.

When she is not writing, or planning her next globel trotting writing research travel trip; she will be found on the ice practicing her spins as an adult figure skater. She also enjoys stabbing people for fun (without getting arrested) as an amateur fencer. Because who says romance authors can’t duel?
