Mimika Cooney
Author
Hello, I’m Mimika (pronounced Mim-ee-kah like Paprika). South African born, living in the USA.
An author of 14 books, I’ve achieved a bucket list goal of writing my first romance novel Mind Reader.
After years of writing non-fiction, teaching mindset, and helping entrepreneurs untangle their business brand chaos, I’m still very good at telling people what to do. 😎
💡 I worked 8 years in marketing and re-trained as a mindset coach because apparently I collect careers like candles.
💕 Why the switch to romance? Because I believe stories can change people. And love? Real, honest, messy, butterfly-in-the-gut love? It changes everything.
💘 I’m a hopeless romantic, married 30 years to my teenage sweetheart (proof that true love + teenage hormones can coexist).
⛸ I’m obsessed with figure skating, fencing, and dancing and those sneak into my stories.
📸 I spent 12 years as a pro photographer (weddings, babies, and yes, Pinterest boards).
🎬 Secret dream? Turning my books into movies.
📺 Guilty pleasure? K-dramas. Give me a back-hug and I’m toast.
✨ I write clean romance safe for Grandma, swoony enough for you. Strong women who believe in real love. Strong men who deserve them. None of that “we don’t need men” nonsense. We rise together.
So that’s me.
If you love emotional depth, strong female leads, and brooding-but-soft-inside love interests… stick around. I’ve got stories to tell!

‘Mind Reader’ is an emotionally rich clean contemporary romance about falling for the one person who sees through your defenses.
This clean contemporary workplace romance is set in the New York City tech startup scene, and old York, England.
