Jamie H Miller is an Australian writer whose life has wandered as widely as his curiosity. Trained in biology, with forays into geology and mining engineering, he has since worked the earth in mineral exploration and extraction, shaped young minds as a university proessor of English and history, and helped shepherd other writers' words into print through book publishing. He has felt the pull of open water as a blue-water sailor, chasing horizons for the sheer pleasure of it. These days he trades adventure for a gentler rhythm, running a small business and savouring the unhurried charms of life in Queensland.
