I'm sorry, but I haven't got any information regarding the author of this '1 mile to you novel'. It could be an indie author or someone who has just started writing, and it hasn't gained wide popularity yet.
I'm not sure specifically as I haven't read a novel named '1 mile to you'. It could be about a journey within a mile that has some special significance to the characters, perhaps a relationship that develops during that one - mile distance.
It's most probably not a true story. The characters, events, and settings in 'A Mile to You' are likely crafted by the author's imagination to engage and captivate the audience.
A'mile high novel' could refer to a novel that has a large number of pages or is very thick, as if it were as tall as a mile (though this is a very exaggerated and figurative description).
8 Mile is indeed fictional. It's not based on a true story but rather crafted to entertain through its fictional plot and characters. The setting and events are created for the film's narrative.
