MilSpouse Authors

What started as an addition to the family was followed by the right amount of puppy mischief, muddy paws, woodland walks, and quiet family moments became the inspiration of a children’s book that Corianna filled with nature, adventure, friendship, and love. Corianna is the author of “The Adventures of Moglin & Mochi”, a children’s book inspired by real-life experiences, family connections, a deep love for her dogs, and the simple joy of nature around us. Her storytelling brings together finding the adventures in our own backyard, imagination and authenticity to create the most meaningful stories that resonate with young readers and dog lovers alike. Moglin is a spirited and adventurous Mini-Brittany Cocker Spaniel, who is always ready to explore, and get muddy. While Mochi, a gentle and thoughtful Texas Heeler, prefers a calmer day but never leaves her best friend side even when mud is involved. Together, they are the best of friends that bring the warmth, big personalities, and heart to every adventure. Through her work, Corianna hopes to create children’s stories that celebrate curiosity about the world around us, resilience, courage, and the beauty of everyday life. Her goal is to inspire children’s imagination, strengthen family bonds with both two-and-four-legged members, and remind readers of all ages that the most meaningful adventures are often the simplest ones with the ones we love the most in the world that’s already around us.

Deadra O’Hara is an American indie author with a dark cinematic, slow-burn writing style. A lifelong play-write and storyteller, she writes across many genres including paranormal suspense, psychological mysteries, conspiracy theories, dark romance, Gothic thrillers, and more. Drawing from personal experiences with the paranormal and her deep passion for the unknown to craft her unique tales and adding in a sprinkle of symbolism and her classic sarcasm. For Deadra, writing is not just a passion but the realization of a lifelong dream. When she's not writing you will find her tending to her child, garden, house plants, chickens, or resident ghost. All while quietly pondering the next good story in the back of her mind. A lover of history, anthropology, cryptozoology, punk rock and all things weird. She never fit in any box and neither do her books. What fun is being in a box, no one wants to be in a box. Focusing on that mindset when she writes and in life. Always live outside the box, that's where it gets weird!
