Marla Miller

Marla Miller, a psychiatric nurse practitioner, segued into freelance writing during her children’s wonder years. Miller wrote for lifestyle magazines and became a founding editor-in-chief of one distributed along the ‘orange coast’ of California. Her first book, nonfiction, was published by Simon & Schuster. Her first novel, Deadly Little Secrets, was published in 2013. She teaches at writers’ conferences, including the Santa Barbara Writers Conference, where she found her literary voice. SweetSpot: Now and Then was born there, so paying homage to S.B.W.C. founders Barnaby & Mary Conrad seems only right.
