You may have noticed some subtle changes to my social media and official site recently.
Here is the good news: MillerWords, LLC is now accepting submissions for publication.
The plan is simple - a streamlined publishing experience which gives more control to the author.
MillerWords will format and produce both paperback and eBooks, then partner with the author to promote the stories in the most creative ways possible.
The question is simple - What can I do for you?
With over 20 years of customer service and retail experience, my goal is to help in any way that I can. I have been a traditionally published author since 2008 and I want to produce professional, attractive books that will look great on any shelf. Through
Authors in the Park, I will offer the added benefit of promoting local authors and selling anything in the
MillerWords library.
If you have been trying to decide whether to self-publish, send me an email. If you are tired of rejection letters, send me an email. If you have any questions, send me an email.
MillerWords pricing and contracts are very competitive and fully negotiable. Whether it is one book for a family reunion or the launch of your best-seller career, I want to help you make that dream a reality.
MillerWords is not a vanity press or self-publishing.
Your book will be registered with the Library of Congress, have an ISBN, and the MillerWords imprint.So, what can I do for you?
It's never too early to start planning for the holidays, right?
I had to get a head start on this one. December 10, 2016 will be the 5th anniversary of Authors in the Park and we will be celebrating in style with the "Christmas Book-tacular"
What is Authors in the Park (AIP)?
It's a local event for local authors. Basically, its a way to promote the little guys (like me). Past events have featured local authors, new break-out writers, regional favorites, international best-sellers and even a rock-and-roll legend. It's a great way to be involved in the community with raffles donated by local businesses, art strolls, wine tastings. We have done quite a lot.
That's why we wanted to go big this year to celebrate. The upcoming event will host 40 authors - who can register here:
Check out the link to see the schedule for the day. I will give you a hint: there will be an author reception, two guest speakers and a huge public expo for authors to sell and sign their works.

For one of Hell’s preeminent succubi, life should be sweet...and it is, if you like sulfuric air, political minefields, and crashing boredom. After six thousand years the succubus Annabelle finds relief from her dull life in the companionship of a damned soul named Harry, until the Kings of Hell decide they disapprove of Annabelle and Harry’s bond.
Unfortunately, even escaping to Earth isn’t enough to keep the pair safe. Somewhere between dodging a dangerously inquisitive psychologist and fighting Satanists out for Harry’s life, Annabelle realizes running is no longer an option. She must return home and make a stand.
Whether she survives or not, at least she isn’t bored anymore...
This is different from my usual fare, but I've been thinking I need to mix things up with more adult novels. For some reason, this one in particular caught my eye. I love the description of hell -- "sulfuric air, political minefields, and crashing boredom" -- it sounds like excellent worldbuilding, not just the fires and brimstone you so often see. I'm also intrigued by how she manages to escape Hell with a damned soul in tow. That can't be easy -- and it reminds me a bit of the
Orpheus myth. I just always enjoy some Heaven and Hell mythology, and this sounds like an exciting read with a fierce her
Thirty-year-old Lucy Lang is lost. She spent most of her young life sacrificing her own needs to care for her half-sister and deal with their alcoholic mother. Now abandoned by both of them, Lucy struggles to find her own purpose in life; a struggle that is laden with wretched memories and regret. With no family, no relationships and an unfulfilling job, Lucy becomes depressed, cynical and self-destructive. At times she’d even contemplated suicide as the only way out.
When she is just about to hit rock bottom, Lucy finds out that her sister is ill and needs a kidney transplant. Lucy is found to be the only match and has no choice but to live; trapped in a lonely existence to save her sister’s life. And, she must battle with her emotions; her bitter resentment for her sister’s heartless departure and her longing to be needed again by the person she once loved most in the world. With the help of new found friends, Benny and Anne, and a struggling romance, Lucy sets out on a journey to reunite with her sister and search for the answers she needs to find her own identity.
With simply genuine and endearing characters, In Search of Lucy pulls you right into the story and into the characters’ lives. You’ll find yourself truly inspired and rooting for the happy ending that these characters are working so hard to obtain. This dramatic, romantic novel about the power of relationships and how they affect our identity will appeal to anyone that has ever experienced love, loss, and friendship.
Did you always know you wanted to be a writer? Can you tell us a little about your journey on the road to writing In Search of Lucy? Not necessarily a writer, but I always loved creating things. Growing up, I loved reading, writing, drawing, and just creating anything. I’ve also always had a lot of ideas about stories too, and from time to time started writing about them, but this is the first time I set out determined to write a complete novel. I went through a few various stages while writing. At first I was so excited and motivated. I really knew I could do it and thought I had a great story. I think at some point many writers go through a little self-doubt. I began to worry about making it through to the end. If you think about it, 80 thousand words is a lot of writing. I just kept powering through those feelings telling myself no matter what I’d finish.
What was the first scene you wrote for this novel? How has it changed over the course of the publishing process?
The first scene is sort of a flash back. Lucy has a very unreliable car and she is remembering when a stranger helped her after her car wouldn’t start. It’s kind of a funny sce
Definitely sounds interesting - thanks for the tip!
