Linda Lael Miller
Linda Lael Miller is a best-selling American author of more than 100 contemporary, Western, supernatural, and historical romance novels. Born Linda Lael in 1949 in the state of Washington, Miller cites a combination of her love of reading, an encouraging English teacher, and the tales an elderly neighbor used to tell about meeting outlaw Jessie James and witnessing gunfights as inspirations to begin writing at a young age. After graduating high school she went on to travel, living in Italy and London before settling down in Arizona. After five years, Miller returned to her roots—a horse property outside of Spokane.Miller’s longtime devotion to her craft has not gone unnoticed by her readers, nor by the wider literary community—she has won a Silver Pen Award, the Romantic Times award for Most Sensual Historical Romance, and the Romance Writers of America’s Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award. Miller has also been nominated six times for the Romance Writers of America RITA Award, the highest honor given to a romance author. She financed fifteen years of the Linda Lael Miller Scholarships for Women, which was awarded to women aged 25 and older seeking to improve their lives through education.Called the "First Lady of the West" for her prolific and much-loved work in the Western genre, Miller was also writing paranormal romance before it swept its way across the literary landscape post-Twilight—starting in 1993, to be exact. The ageless and ever-alluring tale of vampires and the humans who love them comes (back) to life through Miller’s Black Rose Trilogy, which includes the titles Forever and the Night, For All Eternity, Time Without End, and Tonight and Always.
