It looks like the interwebs are here to stay.

For a while, it was a close call: the world wide web or a vast system of pneumatic tubes? I’m now prepared to say that the web has won.

So I’ve set up a personal website for your browsing pleasure. You’ll find links to my books, articles, podcasts, etc. Searching for that old piece on Ray Bradbury and Fahrenheit 451? Rest easy, dear reader. Now you can just go here and scroll down.

As long as I’m writing, www.heymiller.com will be a work in progress. I’ll add content as it appears in print. A lot of my archive is now available through this site, but more remains remote or inaccessible. Over time, I plan to add as much as possible.

Finally, I’ll do a little personal blogging. My current major project involves the publication of my first novel, The First Assassin. It’s a historical thriller set in 1861 Washington. I started working on it 13 years ago. It’s just about ready for the world to see. More on this — a lot more, I promise — soon.

Hi John,
Congrats–looking forward to reading the book. Sounds like it’s right up my alley. I’ve moved back to Kansas and am finally at an academic post, which I love. If you and the family are ever in the KC area, holler; I’d love to see you and I would love to show you around Benedictine College.

Best,
Susan

Hey John,

Nice web site. When “The First Assassin” is made into a movie, I want free tickets.

Read About It

"An excellent book--it’s like The Day of the Jackal set in 1861 Washington."

--Vince Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Pursuit of Honor

"Packed with fascinating information, superb characters, and sublime plot twists, The First Assassin is one of the most exciting thrillers I have read in a long, long time. This is historical fiction at its best and John J. Miller is the hot new author everyone will be talking about."

--Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Apostle

"The story moves with swift suspense, but Miller's real achievement is to take us inside a mindset nearly lost to time, and to create identifiable, sympathetic characters on all sides, including those who are willing to do murder to preserve the Confederacy and its "'peculiar institution.'"

--Andrew Klavan, author of Empire of Lies

"The First Assassin knocked me out. Utterly compelling, the novel sweeps the reader along multiple storylines which converge at one point, one moment, where history pivots on its axis. A skilled writer of non-fiction, here Miller uses his knowledge and research to create a powerful thriller that is completely believable. With its accurate period details and pitch-perfect characters -- from house slaves to Washington, D.C. careerists to a mysterious hitman -- there’s not a false note in the whole book. Read it and tell me I'm wrong."

--Robert Ferrigno, author of Heart of the Assassin

“Football enthusiasts and Theodore Roosevelt admirers will both enjoy and learn from these little-known but important historic events that preserved from extinction one of America’s favorite sports.”

--Tweed Roosevelt, president of the Theodore Roosevelt Association

“In Miller’s hands, the story of Theodore Roosevelt’s love for, and defense of, ‘the great game’ has as much vigor and passion as Roosevelt himself. It’s a fascinating, thoroughly American tale.”

--Candice Millard, author of The River of Doubt

"The Big Scrum tells the fascinating story of why Teddy Roosevelt thought football was so relevant to American life, and how and why the game he essentially fathered became one of this country's most important cultural institutions. At a time when a coalition of suburban soccer moms and misguided caretakers of American athletics are hell-bent on watering down the game of football, you should take the time to read this book."

--Sal Paolantonio, national correspondent, ESPN
