Laura Miller was born in the Missouri River Bottoms in Berger, Mo., but grew up in New Haven, Mo., and attended the University of Missouri-Columbia (Mizzou). While in college, Laura was a 400-meter and 600-yard runner on the University's track and field team. She later graduated from Mizzou with a degree in newsprint journalism and spent years as a newspaper reporter, covering government and business news, before starting to write fiction.
Laura spent some time in San Diego, Calif., and Charleston, S.C., before moving back to the Midwest in 2011. She now lives in Columbia, Mo., with her husband, a TV meteorologist and former Mizzou 800-meter runner.
Laura's debut novel, Butterfly Weeds, hit the Amazon Best-Seller's List in October 2012, while her latest novel, My Butterfly released in June 2013. When she's not working on her next book, Laura can be found chasing after her latest obsession, her one-year-old nephew, or lost in a good book.

The past will find a way to squeeze into the present-if you let it.
