Cathleen Miller is an assistant professor in the MFA program, where she offers courses in creative nonfiction. For the past fifteen years she has combined her love of teaching with a professional writing career. Cathy's memoir, The Birdhouse Chronicles, describes her move from San Francisco to a ramshackle farmhouse in Pennsylvania's Amish country. Birdhouse, now available in paperback, was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Miller is the co-author of the international bestseller Desert Flower, translated into 55 languages, with over two million copies in print. Her essays have appeared in the Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Salon.com, Cimarron Review, Old House Journal, and the anthologies Travelers' Tales San Francisco and Wild Writing Women: Stories of World Travel. Currently she's at work on a biography of Dr. Nafis Sadik, an advocate for women's reproductive freedom and the first female director of the United Nations. Miller was one of the founding members of the popular Bay Area group, the Wild Writing Women. In 2004 she served as the Distinguished Writer in Residence at St. Mary's College.
