A three-time Spur award-winning author, "Miller is a talented man. Writer. Cowboy. Poet. He understands
the complexity of the West and the good people who live on the land and make it work, and his skill with
words tells the tale well."

"Miller's work stands out like a Thoroughbred in a pen full of ponies. His wry humor works the
same way that Baxter Black's does—it saves us from taking ourselves too seriously."

or contemporary West, humorous or serious, for young readers or mature. He writes from the
heart, and he always writes well.

in the night, to wild grapes and longing, to campfires. But more than anything, they are love
stories about work.
