MJ Krause-Chivers is the historical fiction stream for Canadian Christian author Miranda J. Chivers.

Miranda (a.k.a. MJ) was born as an aspiring writer with a love of words. Growing up with Mennonite grandparents who escaped Soviet Ukraine following the Russian Civil War, she became fascinated with their harrowing refugee tales and yearned to tell these stories.

The Christian faith with its focus on peace and neighborly love was embedded into her early years. Despite this, her life was interrupted by catastrophic events that sent her into an emotional whirlwind. She found solace in authoring blogs and dark stories, encouraging herself and others with faith-focused writing.

In the series Russian Mennonite Chronicles, the story of Katarina, Anna, and Peter portrays the characters' struggle to survive during the dark days of the Russian Civil War, WW1, and WW2. The dark saga was inspired by the author's journey and family history.
