Synopsis

Everybody has stories. Some are long, some are short, and most come from a person’s life experiences. Fiction writers tend to have a different slant on thing, but most are based, at least partly, on experience and knowledge. As a Sci-Fi writer, I also like mysteries and cop shows, so I also can envision stories about robberies. Stories about murders- deliberate, accidental or psycho serial killers. About special places to condemn people to Hell. And about the ultimate experience; dying. Presumably, you haven’t experienced it yet and, hopefully, neither have I. Please enjoy the sideways twists of a science fiction writer’s mind.

About this title

About the Author

Douglas R. Miller was born and educated in Pennsylvania, obtaining his bachelor degree from Washington and Jefferson College with majors in biology and chemistry. He then migrated to New York State where he got his Ph.D. in medical physiology from Cornell University and where he also met and married his wife, Jane. After doing his postdoc at Massachusetts General Hospital, he worked as a research scientist at several companies and universities. Dr. Miller wrote over two hundred scientific papers, grants, patents, and a lab manual. His research was mostly in the areas of arthritis, cancer, bone and soft tissue repair, enhanced vaccines, several areas of electrochemistry, and food safety. After learning everything there is to know about everything in science, he is now retired in Texas where he and his wife plan to stay with their worthless dog (who's a bed hog) and a twenty-one-year-old, very vocal and demanding cat (who usually talks loudly to herself in the middle of the night), as well as a pond full of bass and catfish. He writes science fiction when he feels like it because of his lifelong affection for the area.
