Kylie Miller has spent her career as an award-winning journalist and communications consultant.
After trading the city life for a tree change in East Gippsland, Kylie experienced first-hand the devastating bushfires of the 2019-20 Australian summer.
Her first children’s picture book, Heroes of Black Summer, co-written by Craig Sheather and illustrated by Karen Erasmus, tells stories of heroism, courage, resilience, and generosity as the community recovered from the disaster. The book provides fire-affected communities with a tool to support healing and recovery, to help children process the trauma.
Kylie has spent the past 18 months restoring her fire-affected Wairewa property and working on a picture book series for Laneway Press.
She lives by the Gippsland Lakes with her partner, Brett, two rescued greyhounds Teddy and Dotty and a 16-year-old cat called Molly. Molly is the boss of them all.
