Ryan Miller

When Ryan Miller was 4, he declared he wanted to be a writer and that he didn’t like onions, raw tomatoes, mushrooms, and most types of meat. Sixteen years later, in college, he began writing professionally—and found that he actually enjoyed just about everything on his “will not eat” list. He has since worked as a columnist, reporter, newspaper editor, online marketer, and blogger, sometimes all at once, but he most enjoys writing books. HOW TO FEED YOUR PARENTS is his first to be published. Now—almost four decades after he first started shaping letters on paper—he lives in Northern California with his wife, three children, dog, and small flock of egg-laying hens. All of them read and eat a lot, though the humans do the bulk of the reading. Ryan still does not like raw tomatoes (even the ones that grow in his yard), but he promises to try them every so often to see if that changes.
