Welcome to Another Episode of the Women in the Middle Podcast
Today’s episode is all about someone who went from designing experiments in a nuclear physics laboratory to writing historical fiction novels and danced with her dogs along the way.
My guest is Joyce A. Miller, a writer living in Richmond, VA. Before Joyce started writing, she worked for over thirty years as a mechanical designer at a nuclear physics laboratory. She created a fun and interesting journey to her retirement experience for herself.
Now, she has written and “indie-published” two books:
- “Joe Harris the Moon” is historical fiction based on the true story of Miller’s granduncle, who played baseball in the 1910s/1920s.
- “Look! You’re Dancing: A Memoir of Dogs, Dance and Devotion” is a memoir of Miller’s adoption journey of six greyhounds over the past twenty years and how she danced with several of them.
Miller is a member of James River Writers.
This interview highlights passion projects, intentional retirement planning, and regret-proofing your life!
