Author Bio:
Award-winning author Larada Horner-Miller writes from the heart—and it shows in every page of her remarkable collection of ten books, three cookbooks, and three audiobooks. Whether she’s weaving poetry about loss and resilience, sharing memoirs of growing up in rural Southwest America during the 1950s and 60s, or preserving the legacy of the world’s most famous square dance caller, Larada brings authenticity and warmth to every story she tells.
Her journey as an author is as diverse as it is deeply personal. From the heartwarming chaos of Hair on Fire: A Heartwarming & Humorous Christmas Memoir to the raw emotion of A Time to Grow Up: A Daughter’s Grief Memoir, Larada doesn’t shy away from life’s messy, beautiful moments. Her award-winning poetry collections—including Was It a Dream? and Time Measured Out—transform personal struggles into universal truths that resonate long after the last verse.
But Larada’s writing isn’t confined to one genre or format. She’s just as comfortable crafting recipes from her mom’s extensive collection that nourish the body as she is writing verses that feed the soul. Her three cookbooks celebrate the flavors and traditions close to her heart, while her audiobooks bring her stories to life in her own voice, creating an intimate connection with listeners.
With roots in the American Southwest and a background in education, Larada writes with both scholarly precision and emotional honesty. Now living in Boquete, Panama with her husband, she continues to craft stories that honor rural America’s heritage while exploring the timeless themes of family, loss, love, and resilience.
Whether you’re discovering her work for the first time or you’ve been on this journey with her from the beginning, Larada welcomes you to pull up a chair and share in the stories that connect us all.
