J. L. Miles (Jackie Lee), a resident of Georgia since 1975, hails from Wisconsin, via South Dakota. She considers herself “a northern girl with a southern heart.” Her paternal grandfather was christened Grant Lee by her great-grandmother, in honor of the many fallen soldiers on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line. Miles made television, print and fashion appearances, and participated in various stage productions, including "Joan of Lorraine," "The Dark at the Top of the Stairs" and "The Miracle Worker." She lives with her husband Robert in a suburb of Atlanta, where she is a featured speaker at book clubs, local schools, and writer's workshops, and tours with The Dixie Divas, southern book-writing belles serving up helpings of down-home humor and warmth. Her current novel, "Cold Rock River," is a parallel journey of two young women born a century apart (Fried Green Tomatoes meets Cold Mountain).
