Story matters. As the balder half of the Miller Brothers writing duo, Christopher is convinced that his receding hairline is actually a solar panel for brilliant thought. While the science behind this phenomenon is sketchy (at best) one thing is undeniable – his mind is a veritable greenhouse of crazy story ideas. Oh, he's also the co-author of three award-winning youth fiction novels (The Miller Brothers) and newly released novel based on a video game and a pair of children's books. Their books are written for kids and adults who aren't afraid of adventure. His hobbies include dating his wife, raising three children and providing for his family through copywriting, web design and launching a free to read platform for novelists called BookJolt.com. One day, Chris and his brother hope to delve deeply into the realm of interactive fiction.

As a novelist who is also an illustrator, one of the things I like to do to when writing a story is to find and create images that inspire me in my writing project. As I’ve been writing Last Son […]

Today’s post is going to be a departure from my “Last Son of Earth†series in order to bring you some highlights from the ICRS (International Christian Retail Show) in St. Louis. For the uninitiated, ICRS has been the primary […]

Life Is Change, But God Isn’t

An eight year old boy enjoying a day out with his family is watching the race and the very next moment he is taken violently from this world. Moments like this remind us all that we are not as “in control” as we think we are.

11 Ways To Stalk Inspiration

One of the most asked questions I get when speaking to schools about my writing is “Where do you get your ideas?” and similarly, “How do you find inspiration to write?”. It’s a fun question to answer because my answer […]

Fiction and The Meaning Of Evil

“What is the meaning of it, Watson?” said Holmes solemnly as he laid down the paper. “What object is served by this circle of misery and violence and fear? It must tend to some end, or else our universe is […]

We Are Not Storyless!

The Author has never lost control or taken a back seat in his writing. His will is always moving forward. So who are you, O Character, to claim you know better than the Author what is needed in his story?

Magic In The Story: What’s The Big Deal?

Magic — just the mention of it can cause many a “good Christian” to draw dividing lines, take sides and ready for attack. Are we being discerning or just overreacting? Join our new series: Magic in the Story.

Label Me The Anti-Christ or Give Me A Grilled Chessus!

I remember it well, my first novel had just been published and reviews were starting to appear on various blog posts and retail sites. To my delight the posts were almost unanimously positive. The comments were packed with kids and […]

The Mystery Of Love and Writing

Writing a book, like finding love, is a sacred pursuit. No one can tell you how to do it any more than they can tell you how to fall in love. It just doesn’t work that way. It’s not a […]

Are You Sitting Down For This? (Why I’m Taking A Stand For Writers Everywhere)

Chances are if you are reading this post, you are sitting down. And if you are like most Americans (we writers are some of the worst) you’ll probably spend at least 12 hours of your waking day sitting on your […]

Writing In The Raw

Author Christopher Miller: Confession time. Writing doesn’t come easy for me. There, I’ve said it. So you can imagine my shock and surprise when asked to join as a regular contributor to the Speculative Faith blog.

You’re As Relevant As A Wimpy Mustache!

Here’s the funny thing about pursuing relevance–if you’re trying to be it, you probably aren’t. Coolness can’t be faked any more than singing with Auto-Tune makes you a vocalist (sorry T-Pain), or growing a handlebar mustache makes you a man (though I envy any man who can pull it off).

Writers Slay Dragons (and You Should Too)

The truth is, the dragon is real and living among us. But what is this dragon really up to? What’s his goal? Is he merely trying to slow us down in our life journey? Is he simply keeping us from taking chances, fulfilling our dreams or doing great things for God in this world?
