M L Platt

M. L. Platt was born in Ottawa, Canada, where she continues to live and write. From an early age, she developed a deep appreciation for history, storytelling, and the arts — interests that would later shape her creative voice and literary focus.

She pursued studies in psychology at the University of Ottawa, a field that reflects her long-standing fascination with human emotion, behavior, and inner life. Alongside her academic interests, she cultivated a lifelong passion for miniature artistry, a craft that sharpened her attention to detail and sense of atmosphere.

During the isolation of the pandemic, M. L. Platt began transforming her long-held imaginative worlds into fiction. This creative transition led to Victorian Short Stories: Alesther House, where her storytelling invites readers into the quiet tensions, emotional depth, and domestic worlds of Victorian England.

Through her writing, she explores timeless human experiences — love, loss, resilience, and hope — while creating richly imagined historical settings that encourage readers to step into another era.
