Joanna Miller has always loved stories – even from an early age, when the Headteacher complained to her parents that she had read all the books in the school library. Joanna went on to study English at Exeter College, Oxford and later returned to the University to train as a teacher.
After ten years in education, she set up an award-winning poetry gift business. During this time, she wrote thousands of poems to order and her rhyming verse was filmed twice by the BBC.
Unable to resist the lure of the classroom, Joanna recently returned to Oxford University to study for a diploma in creative writing. THE EIGHTS is her debut novel and is inspired by her love of local history and historical fiction.
When Joanna is not writing, she is either walking her dog or working in the local bookshop. She lives with her husband and three children near the Grand Union Canal in Hertfordshire, UK.

Joanna Miller recommends
Three Mothers (2025)
Hannah Beckerman
"Domestic noir at its best; tense, twisty and utterly gripping. The characters are portrayed with such emotional insight and the plot so skillfully controlled that it was impossible to put down."
Miss Burnham and the Loose Thread (2025)
Lynn Knight
"I thoroughly enjoyed this charming historical mystery and raced through it. Knight portrays the struggles of 'surplus' women in the 1920s convincingly, and the detailed description of threads, silks, and sewing techniques is, at times, exquisite."
