I love horror movies, I could spend all day watching them. But I also love a variety of other things. Romances, suspense, Adventures, actions, superheroes, historical. I could go on forever. I also love reading and writing.

"Miller’s new novel “Circe,” is in the best tradition of ancient-historical fiction—a worthy heir to Mary Renault. It's a fabulous novelistic response to “The Odyssey,” and a timely book about power, abuse, parenting and home."
