Sandra A. Miller’s debut novel, WEDNESDAYS AT ONE, is a USA TODAY bestseller, a Publisher’s Weekly summer Buzz Book, a best July book from Good Morning America, and a July Applebooks editor’s pick. Applebooks called it “Fast-paced and chilling…a brilliant mystery about lies, shame, and secrets.”

She is also the author of the award-winning memoir, TROVE, which received gold for memoir in both the National Indie Excellence Awards and the Nautilus Book Awards.

Her children’s book project, CANDY LAND LADY, tells the story behind the world’s sweetest game through the eyes of its creator, Eleanor Abbott. Sandra and her writing partner, Margaret Muirhead, recently discussed their Candy Land research on a segment of CBS Sunday Morning.

Her essays and articles have appeared in hundreds of publications, including the Christian Science Monitor, Writers Digest, the Washington Post, and the Boston Globe Magazine, for which she was a regular correspondent.

One of her essays was turned into a short film called “Wait,” directed by Trudie Styler and starring Kerry Washington. She has also written award-winning scripts for 11 Central Ave., a radio comic strip that ran for three years in major public radio markets.

Sandra has lived and worked in New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Luxembourg. She currently teaches English at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell and lives outside of Boston with her husband, Mark Santello.
