PLUS, it’s so much fun! Local author Jane Miller grew up in the Southeast Plains of Colorado. Much of her work draws from this area. While she has resided in the Grand Junction area since 2007 and considers it home, she says the plains will always be in her bones. Her accomplishments include winning the fairy tale contest with Grand Valley Magazine as well as stories published in Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers’ anthologies. In addition to fiction, she has also written and published two family history books.
