Tiya Miles is from Ohio, “the heart of it all,” though lately she spends part of her summers in her husband’s native Montana. She is the author of All That She Carried, which won a National Book Award for non-fiction, and of three prize-winning works of history on the intersections of African American and Native American (especially Cherokee) experience. Her debut dual time (historical-contemporary) novel based on this research, The Cherokee Rose: A Novel of Gardens and Ghosts, has been deeply revised with new scenes, and will be released as a paperback original by Random House in June 2023! Check out the new version! She has also published a study of haunted plantations and manor homes in the South that reads like a travel narrative. (And she is as surprised as you are that two of her books focus on ghosts!)
