K.S. Miranda has had many careers, all of which she has enjoyed: an attorney specializing in real estate and environmental law, a French teacher, and a mother of incredible children. She has always had a passion for writing, and when that passion coincided with her burgeoning interest in the Aztec culture, this book was born.
About The Fifth Sun
For many years, K.S. Miranda has been fascinated by the Aztec people, who established an incredibly advanced civilization with canal systems and pyramids. Yes, the Aztecs conducted human sacrifice and war against neighboring villages, which of course the author does not condone, but what really caught Miranda’s attention was that the Aztecs put a premium on education. They believed education was the key to bringing about the transformation from childhood to mature and responsible adulthood. The Aztecs valued their children and expected even the young ones to carry themselves with dignity and honor. Miranda, who has been a teacher for 7 years and is troubled by current world events, firmly believes that education as well as a true understanding of different cultures can help break the cycle of violence and ignorance that seems more and more prevalent today.
She currently lives in California with her family and their ‘puppy-cat’.
