About Millie
As a blogger for over a decade, focusing on preparedness, homesteading, off-grid living, and traditional foods, Millie has penned three nonfiction traditional food focused books, sharing how—with a little creativity—anyone can transition to a real foods diet without overwhelming their food budget.
She recently started writing fiction, using her lifestyle and personal experiences as a guide. The Havoc in Wyoming series combines a post-apocalyptic world with homesteading, preparedness, family values, and plenty of twist and turns.
