Deb Miller- Forget the Fairy Tale and Find Your Happiness

Join Village Books in welcoming debut author Deb Miller to the Readings Gallery to celebrate her book, Forget the Fairy Tale and Find Your Happiness!

Who says a prince is needed to save the day? Certainly not debut author Deb Miller. In her bold and empowering memoir, "Forget the Fairy Tale and Find Your Happiness" (She Writes Press, June 24, 2025), Miller flips the script on outdated princess narratives and proves that real-life happiness is not about finding a prince—it's about finding ourselves.

Once upon a time, women were sold the idea that love and fulfillment came neatly packaged with a white horse and a glass slipper. But what happens when the fairy tale doesn't deliver? Miller's journey—at times raw, funny and deeply relatable—challenges the old script and offers a refreshing perspective: women can be the heroes of their own stories.

Through poignant personal revelations and a witty, insightful examination of how Disney princesses have evolved from helpless damsels to fierce, independent warriors, Miller encourages women to break free from limiting beliefs and build a life that is truly their own. With resilience, grit, and a little bit of magic (the real kind—the one that comes from within), she proves that the best happily-ever-afters are the ones we create for ourselves.

Deb Miller is the author of Forget the Fairy Tale and Find Your Happiness, a memoir that brilliantly weaves self-empowerment with the evolution of the Disney princess archetype. Insightful, brave, and deeply relatable, her voice doesn't just speak to women—it awakens them.

A former global marketing vice president, Dr. Miller now teaches marketing at Purdue University and Washington State University. Her debut book, published in June 2025, was named a Readers' Choice Award finalist and earned an IPPY medal.

Deb lives in an enchanted forest outside Redmond, Washington. After visiting nearly 50 countries in her executive life, she's now on a mission to explore every U.S. national park.
