Cathleen Miller

Cathleen Miller’s memoir, The Birdhouse Chronicles, describes one of her more bizarre life experiments:  moving from Pacific Heights to a ramshackle farmhouse in an Amish cornpatch.  Birdhouse, soon to be out in paperback, was nominated for a Pushcart Prize.  Cathy is the co-author of the international bestseller Desert Flower, published in sixteen countries, with over two million copies in print. Her essays have appeared in the Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Cimarron Review, Old House Journal, and the anthologies Travelers’ Tales San Francisco and Wild Writing Women: Stories of World Travel. Currently she’s at work on a biography of Dr. Nafis Sadik, an advocate for women’s reproductive freedom and the first female director of the United Nations.
