Biography
Eve Mills Allen (who has also published under Eve Mills Nash and Eva Mills) currently works as a mental health therapist in Moncton. She worked in the field of journalism for more than 30 years, including 13 years as a newspaper reporter. She has also supplied contract writing services for businesses and magazines and wrote the treatments for a season of television shows on APTN.

Eve has a MA in Creative Writing from the University of New Brunswick as well as a MEd in Counselling Psychology. She won several short story contests in Atlantic Canada during the 1990s and early 2000s and had a short story published in an American anthology Dare to Repair. Personal writing projects were ignored for several years while she changed careers and facilitated therapeutic writing workshops and worked in the mental health field (most often in First Nations communities) throughout Atlantic Canada. She also taught a Life Writing class at the University of New Brunswick for 10 years and offered sessions at the Maritime Writers Workshops there two summers. Today, she continues to offer therapeutic writing workshops but returned to her personal writing last year and recently sent two novels (Unlikely Angels and In the Arms of Inup) on query. She is a member of the Moncton Writer’s group.
Publications
In 2002, her memoir, Little White Squaw: A White Woman’s Story of Abuse, Addiction and Reconciliation, coauthored by Kenneth J Harvey, was published by Beech Holme Publishing in Vancouver. It is now with Dundurn Press in Toronto.

In 2003, she self-published a children’s story, Moli Musquash and the Seven Deadlies, and the Friendly Feelings Kit which was used in Fredericton area elementary schools. Her work has also appeared in the Nashwaak Review and the Amethyst Review.

In February 2021 her non-fiction novel, In the Arms of Inup: the extraordinary story of a Guatemalan survivor and his quest for healing from trauma, was released by HARP Publishing. The same year (April 2021), Unlikely Angels was released through Cyberwit.net.
