About the author

Elizabeth Miller (1879–1961) of Indianapolis, daughter of Samantha West Miller and Timothy Miller (d. 1912).

She graduated from Manual Training High School, and took classes at Butler University and Indiana University. In 1904, under the name Bessie Miller, she had an historical-religious novel, The Yoke, published by Bobbs Merrill. This was followed by Saul of Tarsus (1906), The City of Delight (1908), Daybreak (1915), and The Science of Columbus (1921). In 1907 Purdue University invited her along with James Whitcomb Riley, Meredith Nicholson, George Ade, and Charles Major to an Authors' Reading.

She married Oren Hack in 1908, and had a daughter and three sons. In the 1920s the family lived in Boggstown. Though she wrote comparatively little after her marriage, Mrs. Hack continued her association with local literary figures like Laura Smith, Anna Nicholas, and Esther Griffin White.
