Award-winning author Diana Miller has wanted to be Nancy Drew ever since she started looking for hidden staircases as an eight-year-old girl (though she’s never found a single cryptic clue for all her trouble). Since then, she has worked happily as a lawyer, a soda jerk, a stay-at-home mother, a hospital admitting clerk, and a conference host. Still, she itched for a way to inject some suspense into her otherwise satisfying life, until she realized fiction was the key. Her debut novel, Dangerous Affairs, won a Golden Heart Award from the Romance Writers of America, and has been nominated for a Booksellers Best Award and an Aspen Gold Readers Choice Award. She has received five Golden Heart nominations, including one for Fatal Trust. She lives in the Twin Cities with her family.
