About me:

My book, MISS SPITFIRE: REACHING HELEN KELLER, is now available! To find out more about it (and me), please stop by my website, blog, or read chapter one here.


"This moving story - for all ages - is about how Anne an underprivileged young woman awoke to life and learning the most famous woman of her time. Miss Spitfire is high drama about how language unlocks the world."
~ Richard Peck, Newbery-winning author of A Year Down Yonder


"An illuminating look into the life of Annie Sullivan."
~ Sue Stauffacher, author of Donuthead


"To read Sarah Miller's Miss Spitfire with your daughter or your son is to discover in a fresh, new way the miracle that brought together two of history's most brilliant and stubborn women. What an amazing, revealing book. It's definitely not for kids only!"
~ Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean


*******************************

My friends would tell you I'm quirky, slightly obsessive, and rather irreverent. I majored in linguistics, minored in Russian, and was the undisputed fingerspelling champ in my ASL classes. I can also read Braille -- very, VERY slowly. A few of the things I like best: Anne Frank, opera, the Romanovs, cameras, daffodils, Eleanor Roosevelt, Ferrero Rocher chocolates, I Love Lucy, the Titanic, Bette Davis movies, and goofy socks.

I've had the good fortune to work at a very fine independent children's book store where I was up to my elbows in new and upcoming children's lit for six years.


**************************************************
A NOTICE TO POTENTIAL MySpace FRIENDS: **************************************************
MISS SPITFIRE is a book aimed at kids as young as 9 years old. If you've got anything on your profile that isn't suitable for preteen eyes, I'm sorry, but I just can't add you.

Have you read this?

The Curse of the Romanovs by Staton Rabin

It seems just strange enough to be good.

Yes, tis me :) I am the chicken.

It's been great to read your blog. I am moving through your old posts now and it's so very fun. I'm so impressed with your writing and that you've written an actual book. That is friggin' nifty keen. Do you feel famous? ;) I have seen your book in bookstores before, not knowing you wrote it, and the cover art always really enticed me. Unfortunately, I never bought a copy because I never had the money (until recently I was unemployed.
) However, the next time I see it I plan on buying it :)

lol. It's cool. I've seen every possible spelling of my name. My best friend's name is Kaitlyn.

Maybe I could be a childrens librarian/Quentin Blake type person when I'm outta college.
