Ep 121: Exploring New Jersey with Author Kimberly Miller
Join us as we tour the US through books, one state at a time.
This week on the podcast, our adventure leads us to the state of New Jersey.
Have you ever thought about what it might be like to live in a popular vacation destination full time? Our author this week, Kimberly Miller, loved Ocean City’s vibe so much she crafted an entire community around it in her book, Flowers for Hattie, and explored the idea of life as a fulltime resident.
Ocean City, NJ, sounds like a dream! Safe, clean, family-friendly beach town that even has a lovely bookstore. Let’s go!

Meet Kimberly M. Miller
I started writing short stories in junior high school and quickly fell in love with the craft. I foolishly pursued athletic training as my major in college, but quickly realized it wasn’t for me, and returned to writing. I have since earned three degrees in the subject and teach numerous writing courses at the college level.
