HEIDI RUBY MILLER

The January 2021 Seton Hill Writing Popular Fiction residency was once again virtual, but Jason and I had a wonderful time in critique workshops, thesis defenses, genre dinners, craft modules, and book discussions. Thank you to the WPF Director, Dr. Nicole Peeler , for making this remote residency run so smoothly. Having SHUWPF alum V.M. Burns as our visiting professor was inspiring to all as she spoke of her success after Seton Hill as a mystery writer. We can't wait to see what these new graduates will accomplish. Congratulations to them all, including my mentees Marx Pyle and Victoria Scott .

PUBLICATIONS My short story "Mr. Johnson's Boy" was accepted for the Fall 2007 Issue of Eye Contact .

This will mark my first appearance in the literary-art magazine of Seton Hill University . Obviously, I'm feeling pretty good about it.
