About The Author
Linda Kenney Miller is a graduate of Fisk
University with a B.A. in English. She taught
English and Reading in the District of
Columbia Public School System, while taking
graduate courses at Howard University,
where she published Realism in Black Poetry
as part of a curriculum guide for public school
teachers. In 1975, she entered the health care
field, working as a medical administrator for her
father, Howard W. Kenney, M.D., and remained in the field for over
thirty years. She also started a medical management consultant
business, H.W.K. Associates, which served numerous physicians in
the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area for many years. Concerned
that the practice of medicine was being supplanted by the
business of medicine in the 21st century, she decided to combine
her literary and medical skills to write Beacon on the Hill, in honor
of the early black medical pioneers whose altruism and sacrifice
defined medical care in that era. Service was the mantra of the day.
Linda is currently taking leave from her medical management
consulting practice to focus on a full time writing career.
