About Phyllis Zimbler Miller
WELCOME TO THE AMAZON FICTION BOOKS PROFILE OF PHYLLIS ZIMBLER MILLER
(See her non-fiction books by Phyllis Z. Miller on Amazon at www.amazon.com/author/phylliszmiller and her YA fiction book PINKY SWEAR by P. Z. Miller on Amazon at www.amazon.com/author/pzmiller)
Phyllis Zimbler Miller lives in Beverly Hills, California, and blogs on book-related topics at www.PhyllisZimblerMiller.com
She grew up in Elgin, Illinois, and majored in journalism at Michigan State University, where she met her future husband, Army ROTC cadet Mitchell R. Miller, on the State News editorial staff.
In May of 1970 Mitch went on active duty at Ft. Knox, Kentucky, and Phyllis tagged along with him. Her women's friendship novel MRS. LIEUTENANT is inspired by the nine weeks they spent at Ft. Knox.
From September 1970 to May 1972 Phyllis and Mitch were stationed in Munich, Germany, where Mitch served with the 18th Military Intelligence Battalion.
Phyllis eventually got a security clearance and worked as a civilian with the 66th MI Group. Her romantic suspense spy thriller CIA FALL GUY is partially based on knowledge she learned on this job (reports she typed went to the Munich office of the CIA).
After Mitch's military service, while living in Philadelphia, Phyllis was an editor and reporter for the Jewish Exponent before earning an M.B.A. at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Her Wharton experience is the starting point for her Los Angeles-based cozy mystery CAST THE FIRST STONE.
(Two short stories in TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE feature Rebecca Stone, the same protagonist as in CAST THE FIRST STONE. Both books include kosher recipes from Phyllis' 1992 Jewish holiday book SEASONS FOR CELEBRATION written with Rabbi Karen L. Fox.)
Phyllis and Mitch moved to Los Angeles in 1980, and Phyllis held positions at TigerAir and Max Factor. She then worked as a marketing consultant, and she was the founding president of the Los Angeles Chapter of Sisters in Crime.
(Mitch has been a tax lawyer in Beverly Hills for over 25 years -- see www.EstatePlanningForYou.com)
In 2008 Phyllis co-founded an online marketing company at the same time she self-published her novel MRS. LIEUTENANT, which was selected as a 2008 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award semifinalist. Phyllis dove into the world of blogging, social media, and online book marketing.
Phyllis and Mitch have maintained an interest in military intelligence, and Mitch is a member of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers and the U.S. Naval Institute while Phyllis is a member of the Military Writers Society of America. Together Phyllis and Mitch wrote the military thriller LT. COMMANDER MOLLIE SANDERS, an adaptation of two screenplays featuring the same protagonist.
Phyllis is a member of the Department of Defense's Bloggers Roundtable and frequently blogs about PTSD. Her short story SOLOMON'S JUSTICE was inspired by her visit to the Los Angeles County Veterans Court.

Blog postAccording to the article “Reading Fiction Boosts Leadership Qualities” by Emanuele Castano in the December 2020 U.S. Naval Institute’s Proceedings:
When we read fiction, our minds treat the characters as if they were actual human beings. Therefore, it is as if we were practicing social skills in real life.
Yet Castano says that all fiction is not created equal — the benefits accrue apparently from literary fiction rather than popular fiction:

Praise for DEFENSE:
"I enjoy reading good, quick short stories on my Kindle. This one was just the right length. The terrorist story line felt timely and was appropriately handled. My military husband and I were stationed at Sembach for several years. We also know Kaiserslautern very well having also been stationed there. I could also see the author’s military intelligence background through her plotting, etc. This book felt very authentic to me." -- Bonnie Bartel Latino

"It happened on the road to Zanzica" begins the unexpected road adventures of Leeze am Holden.
En route to Zanzica to pay her family’s taxes, Leeze am Holden feels safe dressed as a boy in shirt and breeches, her sword at her side. Stopped for the night, she is surprised when a young man, his sword by his side, requests the honor of sword practice with her.When during their swordplay she trips over a milk bucket, Perth am Machal offers her a hand up. As she stands, she overbalances and falls chest forward into him.
The realization of Leeze’s true gender leads Perth to extend a shocking proposition:
Will she marry his dying brother right now so that Perth’s mother and two sisters will not be left dispossessed by Perth’s uncle?
After all, Perth assures her, there will be no requirement for a wedding night. His brother, thrown from a horse the day before, can barely lift his head. And she would be saving the female members of his family.
How can Leeze say no to this?
What W.E.B.Griffin's BROTHERHOOD OF WAR series does for Vietnam-era active duty military personnel, MRS. LIEUTENANT -- a 2008 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award semifinalist -- does for Vietnam-era military spouses.
"Miller captures the freshness and naiveté of those women, all transplanted to an environment that forced them to deal with new challenges."--Dr. Cathy Goodwin, Top 500 Amazon Reviewer
"I loved MRS. LIEUTENANT. Reading it brought back for me, a military wife, memories of the Vietnam War era, when so many of our young men were in uniform due to the draft, and memories of what it was like being in the sub-culture of the military as a new Army wife."--Mary Raynor
"This book should be required reading for every contemporary military spouse, the families of our servicemen and women, and civilians who want to understand the lifestyle of our men and women in uniform. The military isn't just a job or career, it is a WAY OF LIFE that can't be fully understood by those who haven't lived it. Phyllis Zimbler Miller's MRS. LIEUTENANT makes it clear--this is a life she understands at the deepest level."--Bonnie Bartel Latino, co-author of "Your Gift to Me"
"Phyllis Zimbler Miller's MRS. LIEUTENANT is one of those stellar reads that keep you engaged from the first word to the last, and how long or how short the book is doesn't concern you at all. Keep a box of tissues handy, because you'll need it; I certainly did, and more than once."--George Polley, author of "Grandfather & the Raven"
When newly married Sharon Gold suddenly finds herself in the unfamiliar culture of the U.S. Army during the unpopular Vietnam War, she quickly realizes she must adapt to this alien world. If she does not learn to "fit in," the consequences could have a severe impact on her husband's military career and even his life.
By sharing the unique perspective of these women alongside their men in uniform, MRS. LIEUTENANT provides a compelling look inside the military during a turbulent time in U.S. history (with many parallels to today).
