Julian M. Miles

Biography

Julian’s first loves were fantasy and magic; the blending of ancient and futuristic. This led him to a love of speculative fiction, initially as a reader, then as a reader and writer.

He started writing at school, extended into writing role-playing game scenarios, and thence into bardic storytelling. In 2011 he published his first books, in 2012 he released more (along with the smallest complete role-playing system in the world).

With over 20 books published in digital and physical formats, he has no intention of stopping this writing lark anytime soon, and he'd be delighted if you'd care to join him for a book or two.

Smashwords Interview

In no more than ten words, why did you become a writer?
A progression from storytelling that has been even more fun.
How did you get your first proper opportunity?
A Canadian-based website specialising in science fiction, science fantasy and speculative flash fiction, 365 Tomorrows ( http://365tomorrows.com ) brought to my attention a specialised form of story making – flash fiction. I found a knack for it and became a staff writer for the site in late 2011. I had three stories a month published on the site and increased to four stories each month from April 2016. They publish a new story every day, either from the half-dozen staff writers or submissions from authors around the world.
