Millie Criswell

Millie Criswell, USA Today best-selling author and winner of the Romantic Times Career Achievement Award, the National Readers Choice Award, Maggie Award, and Dorothy Parker Award of Excellence has published over twenty-five romance novels in various genres and has over two million books in print.

Millie began her writing career when her husband uttered those prophetic words: "Why don't you try writing one of those romances you're always reading?" Her secret desire was to tap dance with the Rockettes, but when she couldn't get her feet to cooperate, she opted to write instead. She began writing shortly before her fortieth birthday to stem a mid-life crisis and penned three full manuscripts before selling her first, a historical, two-and- a-half years later.

Millie resides in Virginia with her husband of thirty-four years, Larry. She has two grown children, one adorable, incredibly intelligent granddaughter, and a Boston Terrier named Jake.
