Tamara L. Miller

Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Tamara L. Miller earned her PhD in Canadian history before embarking on a career working for the federal government. Starting out as a doe-eyed policy analyst, she eventually moved into an executive role with the Governent of Canada. She later left public service, older and perhaps a little wiser, to become a writer. Her debut novel, Into the Fall, was published in 2025. Tamara is a past president of Ottawa Independent Writers and has written several articles published online by the likes of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and Ottawa Life Magazine.

Over the years, the author has called many Canadian cities home but now lives in Ottawa with her family and two long-suffering cats. She’s always been fascinated by the raw beauty of the wilder places in the world and escapes to them whenever possible.
