Journalist Joyce Kleiner is the author of two books and countless articles about Mill Valley, her home town since 1995. A meticulous researcher, she loves to lift layers of history to reveal much about the known and unknown men, women and events that have shaped our special place. Her books, Legendary Locals of Mill Valley (2014) profiled more than a hundred movers and shakers; and Kind of Close to Heaven (2021), a compendium of her columns in the Mill Valley Herald, educated and informed readers. Joyce is currently writing vignettes for MV Connect, the City of Mill Valley’s primary online vehicle to communicate to its citizenry.
