Award winning writer George Miller first served his country as an officer in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. His subsequent civilian career saw him engaged with the FDIC, the Federal Reserve, Lockheed Martin, and later as the CEO of his own computer software company. He began writing on the Maryland Area Rail Commuter (MARC) on his hour long commute from Western Maryland into the District of Columbia when he wrote to pass the time. Many of his stories and poems were "borrowed' from his fellow passengers who shared his third-rail existence between work and home. In his retirement he manages a small publishing company in Southern Maryland where he has facilitated books under several local imprints.His own books include The Best Free Verse Ten Dollars Can Buy (a book of poems), Cooper Finds Her Thermal as Told to George Miller by a Little Pink Bird (an illustrated allegory about an ecoterrorist Cooper's Hawk who sets out to save the Chesapeake Bay), and Loaded for Bear, Adventures and Misadventures from the Appalachians to the Chesapeake (a book of short stories).He owes much to his fellow writers at the Hyattstown Mill Arts Project, the Southern Maryland Poets Circle, the publishers at New Bay Books, the Southern Anne Arundel Arts Lab, his longtime collaborator Donald Shomette, and especially Elisavietta Ritchie for ten years in her monthly workshops at the Calvert County Library.
