Hi all! My name is Maya Fisher, and I’m thrilled to be part of this community. I’m a transgender woman, below-the-knee amputee, and debut indie author who believes in the power of storytelling to amplify voices and challenge norms.

I recently founded One-Legged Woman Publishing LLC to take full control of my publishing journey, ensuring that stories like mine—ones that center resilience, identity, and survival—reach the readers who need them most.

About My Book: Reborn In Shadows
🔥 Reborn In Shadows is a gripping thriller about Miriam Ryder, a sharp-witted, chain-smoking transgender woman and recent amputee who is forced into witness protection after a near-fatal run-in with a crime family. She escapes to a quiet Appalachian town, hoping to rebuild her life, but soon learns that small towns remember—and some secrets refuse to stay buried.

As she faces deep-seated bigotry, an unexpected romance, and the creeping shadow of her past, Miriam must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect the new life she’s built. It’s a thriller, a survival story, and a journey of self-discovery wrapped into one.

Exciting News & Recognitions
🏛️ Reborn In Shadows has been selected for inclusion in the Library of Congress, a huge honor that ensures its place in the national literary record!
🏆 I have submitted the book to both the Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY Awards) and the Next Generation Indie Book Awards, two of the most prestigious honors in indie publishing.
