Judith McCoy Miller veteran novelist is the youngest of three children. She was born and lived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for seventeen years. Shortly after graduating high school Judith and her husband Jim moved to Topeka, Kansas, where she works fulltime as a compliance analyst for the Kansas Insurance Department. They have four children, two boys and two girls.

Judith’s love of history influences her characters, their ethnicity, and the locale of her books. She says "I am consistently drawn to another time and place, yearning to tell the stories of forgotten voices from long ago and the impact of God's love and grace upon our country as it was shaped".

Judith started writing her first book while commuting sixty miles to work each day. She wanted to tell the story of a pioneer girl coming to Kansas and the faith that sustained her as she adjusted to a new life. When the book was completed, it was tucked away. Judith was introduced to Tracie Peterson who worked down the hall from her and Tracie gave her some pointers about what to do with the finished manuscript.

Her books include Woven Threads, Sleigh Bells, Changed of the Heart, A Trusting Heart, The Immigrants’ Chronicles, Kansas, and the Bells of Lowell series (the latter two are written with Tracie Peterson). She has contributed several novellas. "The Golden Cord" appears in China Tapestry, "Tales from Home" is part of The Storytellers’ Collection Volume 2, "The Blessings Basket" in Spring’s Memory, and American Dream.
