Pat Zietlow Miller knew she wanted to be a writer ever since her seventh-grade English teacher read her paper about square-dancing skirts out loud in class and said: “This is the first time anything a student has written has given me chills.” (Thanks, Mrs. Mueller! You rock!)

Pat started out as a newspaper reporter and wrote about everything from dartball and deer-hunting to diets and decoupage. Then, she joined an insurance company and edited its newsletter and magazine.

Now, she writes insurance information by day and children’s books by night. She has 11 picture books available and 12 more that will be coming out in the next few years.

Her books in print are: SOPHIE’S SQUASH, WHEREVER YOU GO, SHARING THE BREAD, THE QUICKEST KID IN CLARKSVI

Words are fun, and there are endless ways to combine them to get just the feeling you hoped for. I also like knowing that there are always ways to make my story better. Figuring out what those are is very satisfying.(less)

"Roads go ... over a hill, under a bridge, deep in a valley, high on a ridge." I wrote them down and emailed them to myself at home. From there, I started thinking about all the other places roads go and how, many times, we can choose which roads we travel in life.(less)

Ruth Brilliant book. Wish I'd thought of it. I was the sort of kid to turn an inanimate object into a baby, and Pat's writing here is spot on. ::applauding::
