My Favorites, Even If By Force

Posted on 20 Dec 201720 Dec 2017 by A.P. Miller in Uncategorized

If this past weekend had a moral, it would be: always be on the lookout for a good book. I stopped by a Dollar Tree (the store where everything’s a buck, they are huge down south). I see a book titled “Vampires” and my interest is piqued. The cover looks like the 1998 movie “Vampires” starring James Woods. Now, I’ve been bamboozled by flashy covers before, that’s why I own a copy of “Transmorphers” on DVD. What I had on my person, that I didn’t ten years ago when I was gung-ho to buy Transmorphers, was a phone; specifically, a phone that is technologically more advanced that the computers that landed Neil Armstrong on the moon. I was able to google the movie, find out that it was based on a book, and sure enough: it was the book I held in my hand. A book that I would have gladly paid $12.00 or more for, for one dollar. Take that capitalism, I won. Continue reading “My Favorites, Even If By Force” →

That House on West Street (By Hendrix Wilson)

By: Hendrix Wilson – My daughter told me that if I had been born in her generation, that I would be a superstar on Instagram. I’m embarrassed to admit that I didn’t know what an Instagram was, or how to have one delivered, only to find out that it’s a means to sharing the pictures you take. I get the impression that Cori (daughter) said this because of my volumes of photo albums that I keep, and how I’ll spend hours looking through them on a rainy day.

My Favorite Questions From This Week!

Posted on 16 Nov 2017 by A.P. Miller in Uncategorized

Before I do anything, I need to try to tell you all how tremendously grateful I am for all of the love and support that you all have given me this week! Releasing the book was absolutely terrifying; I was prepared to change my name and hit the road as one of those fortune tellers who are wrong all the time, but all of you have made this such a big moment for me. I had no idea what to expect, and you are all lovely people. In fact, some of you have come off of the “list of people who are going to get roasted in my next book;” I’m not going to confirm if you are or not, but there are a few.

I’ve Learned Some Things…

Posted on 10 Nov 201719 May 2018 by A.P. Miller in Blog

Have you heard? Broken Promise Records hit electronic store shelves this week! Buy a copy, and talk to me about it!

The process of writing Broken Promise Records has been a real experience; it’s an experience that expanses over years, states, cities, and who I am as a whole. When the book began, all I had to work with was an idea, and borrowed time. When the book was finished, I was certain that I wasn’t the guy who started writing the book. Life had happened in between the first words being typed on a Google Doc and the ability to purchase the book. At the very least, I can say that my initial efforts, while seeming insurmountable, did come to fruition. I finished the project, and that’s a huge ordeal for me.

“BPR” is the first writing project of mine that didn’t begin with a written outline, or careful notes. It started with a character that I identified with, in a head space that I had been before, and the common hope that he and I could change existing circumstance. It was a very surreal experience, how some of the characters came together and fell apart. Lori Marshall is a character in the book who kind of told me how her story was going to go.
