Biography
About the author
T. Alex Miller is a graduate of the University of Colorado-Boulder creative writing program. His writing career has been spent mostly in community newspapers, although he also worked for a year in Hollywood (in development at the Sci-Fi Channel) and edited a magazine in Los Angeles (LA Family). He is currently the editor of the Summit Daily News, a newspaper in Frisco, CO.
In addition to his career in journalism, Miller has been active in theatre as an actor, director and playwrights. His plays have been produced locally as well as in conjunction with the state theatre festival. They include 5 Gears in Reverse, The Adjudicators, Velociraptors and Outrageous Claims.
His new novel, Ohiowa, is the culmination of a three-year project to create a larger story about the emotional state of the U.S. Believing that most of the fiction being created today with terrorism as a theme has more to do with the act itself, Miller wanted to explore what happens to ordinary people when terror enters their lives. In so doing, he chose a fictional location with which he is highly familiar – a Colorado mountain town – and situations, characters and settings with which he has firm knowledge.
Miller lives in Frisco, Colorado with his wife, Jen, and their many children.
