Daisy Luther is a suspense novelist, columnist, and founder of The Organic Prepper.
She is the author of the novels Haven Hill and The Widow in the Woods, as well as nineteen nonfiction books on preparedness, self-reliance, and resilience.
Long before she built one of the largest preparedness websites on the internet, Daisy wanted to be a writer.
The day before her father died, he challenged her.
“Girl, tell me, what are you going to do with your life?”
“I’m going to be a writer, Dad.”
He shook his head sadly, his eyes closed, and he summoned up some reserve of energy and said the words that changed everything.
“No, you’re not. Writers write. You just talk about writing. If you want to be a writer, you have to write.”
The next day, he was gone.
She has spent the years since proving him right.
Over the past decade, Daisy’s work has been read by millions of people around the world. Her years writing about preparedness, self-reliance, current events, and resilience now inform her fiction, which focuses on ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances.
Today she writes novels, essays, and commentary from North Carolina, where she lives with entirely too many books, several opinionated cats, and a never-ending collection of stories waiting to be told.
