Minnie E. Miller Marvelously Mature Author, Essayist, Political & News Junkie

I am a native Chicagoan, born at Cook County Hospital -- we won't talk about the year. I have been writing for seventeen years. I attended Roosevelt University in Chicago where a very-English teacher encouraged me to explore my writing muse.
My last full time job was with the Office of the Mayor of San Francisco as special assistant to his press secretary. While there, I co-authored The San Francisco Mayor's Summit for Women, Summit Report 1998. I retired in 1999, left San Francisco, landed in Atlanta, Georgia and worked in the City Council's Communications office as a freelancer. Heeding a whisper from my subconscious, I returned home but still couldn't sit still. To my amazement, NBC5 Chicago WMAQ TV hired me part-time in the newsroom. The news junkie in me loved it.
My literary career grew strong wings in March 2003 when I published a book of short fiction stories titled Catharsis. I retired again in May 2004, devoted my time to writing The Seduction of Mr. Bradley and Blue Lady Rising. The Lady is still rising, however.
For years I suffered from wanderlust--inherited it from my mother, a casualty of an early divorce. I tried marriage at the age of twenty but realized early that it didn't work for me. Curiosity pulled me to London, Paris, Jamaica, and many U.S. cities.
