Timothy Miller is a writer from north Louisiana. He has lived in Houston, Los Angeles, New Orleans, San Francisco—probably the only bartender to have worked in the French Quarter and on Fisherman’s Wharf—his beloved Chicago, Lincoln Nebraska, and even spent some time living La Dolce Vita in Milan, which un-English though it is, is where the inspiration for his first novel began.
He has a degree in Theater, with an emphasis on Directing and Lighting.
He worked at Steppenwolf before it was even Steppenwolf, back when it was St. Nicolas Theater. He has worked on plays at the John Lennon Theater where Glenn Close got her start.
Tim has been writing since he learned to print and wrote a Magnum Opus of ten pages at the age of six before he abandoned it. It was called the “Monster’s Picnic”. He has been writing ever since.
He has also had a short ("Scanned") and a feature (You can catch the trailer for"At War with the Ants" here.) produced. You can watch the short in its entirety online at Vimeo.
A funny thing happened on the way to my first publication. I had a massive stroke. My relatives were picking out funeral urns for me. But they wouldn't let me go until I had signed the contract for my first novel. I came back—folks called me the miracle man. As I write this, I'm fully recovered, save for a few odd tics. I have published The Strange Case of Eliza Doolittle and The Strange Case of the Dutch Painter and now the third book in the series, The Strange Case of the Pharaoh’s Heart.
As a writer, I have many questions that need answering, such as why I shifted from third person to first person in the middle of this bio. That is probably a three-pipe problem. Or a three-coffee-cup problem, at least.
