THOMAS MILLER

I was the nerdy photographer for the school paper. I was too busy working at Black Diamond Nursery after school to socialize much. I left Toledo soon after graduation to go into the Army, eventually transferred to the Air Force, and retired in 1993. I have been a free-lance writer since the 70's. I am also a martial artist and taught Hakkoryu Jujitsu for 25 years. I live in the foothills of the Ozarks in eastern Oklahoma.

I have written two novels to date in the BlackStar Ops Group Series, the recently released BlackStar Bomber, and Black Star Bay, and am working on the third, BlackStar Mountain.

I think I owe much of my success to the work ethic I learned growing up in Toledo. I won't remember most of my classmates, but, give me a call if you'd like.

I took a photo in the parking lot that won first place in an Ohio journalism competition. I don't remember the girls names, (the negatives and my copies of the school paper were lost), but, two girls were walking along the sidewalk on a rainy school day when a passing car sent a wave of water over them. It was a before and after sequence that needed no caption.
