A New York Witch with a Scottish soul

Some writers research the worlds they write. Gloria lived a good part of hers.

Long before Marie Aiello ever met a daemon or set foot in a 1960s rock club, Gloria J. Miller was hitchhiking across America with two friends, photographing rock bands, and following a pull toward Scotland that she could never quite explain to her Italian family.

She is a Witch, and her heroines are too. They are strong-willed women who trust their intuition, keep the old holidays, and don’t always follow the rules. Magick in Gloria’s books is not a costume. It is a way of seeing the world: the voice that tells you to cross at a different corner, the stranger you are certain you have known before, the déjà vu that might be a memory trying to break through.

Her novels move between New York and the British Isles, between the present and the past, and between this world and others. Above all they are love stories, about soulmates, friendships and families, and the bonds that outlast a single lifetime.

The threads in her stories

  • Magick

    Witches, daemons, spirits and déjà vu, written by someone who walks the path herself.

  • Rock & Roll

    The Fillmore, 1960s London and the bands she once photographed, with music in every book.

  • Scotland

    Highland roads, stone cottages and the pull of a past life that feels like coming home.

“I am now Wiccan, actually a Witch, thank the Goddess. When I began my studies, the word was Witch. That’s what I favor.”
Marie Aiello · Chronicles of a Time Thief

A little of her past

The Road So Far

  1. The beginning

    New York City

    Born in New York City to a family of Italian and Latvian heritage. For as far back as her memory serves, she felt a connection (an obsession, really) with Scotland.

  2. The late 1960s

    Hitting the road

    She fell into the hippie way of life and hit the road with two friends, hitchhiking all the way from New York to San Francisco.

  3. The rock & roll years

    Behind the camera

    After the death of her husband she settled back in New Jersey to raise her daughter. There was a wee bit of job switching along the way, from photographing rock bands to secretarial work at law firms, on Wall Street, and in real estate.

  4. Always

    Scotland, calling

    She travelled to Scotland again and again because her soul demanded it. The Highlands, the castles and the damp, cold air find their way into her books.

  5. Now

    The writing life

    After winning a battle with cancer, Gloria retired and turned to the stories that had been waiting for her. She lives in New Jersey with her mate and Gypsy the Cat, keeps busy writing another book, and rides her bike.
