Addicted
Humans are biologically hardwired to alter their mental state, drugs are the pathway, and America is their biggest consumer. From antiquity to modernity, use and prohibition have gone hand in hand. Addicted raises the curtain to expose the lies and fill in the blanks behind America’s failed 50 year war on drugs and makes sense of the quagmire of misinformed laws and policy, blending Miller’s investigative journalism with historical narrative.
In addition, Miller tells the story of nature’s three primary psychotropic plants and the history of government efforts to suppress them: Papaver Somniferum, the opium poppy, the drug of Asian mystery, which provides opium and its derivative alkaloids morphine and heroin; Erythroxylum Coca, which provides the cocaine of all night parties and glamor; and Cannabis Sativa, L., the historical intoxicant of rebellion and counterculture. These plants convert soil, water, nutrients, CO2, and light into complex chemical substances, which can elevate, intoxicate, and even heal.
Addicted unravels the institutional mechanism that fuels the war’s self-perpetuation, its abject failure, and its deplorable byproduct of racial injustice. The stories in Addicted feature a diverse cast of heroes, villains, and bureaucrats as well as all the post-Nixon Presidents who failed in their version of the war.

La Libre Rose
In the quaint village of Dorset, where the past and present intertwine, Liberty finds herself at the crossroads of a new beginning. Retired and seeking solace in the comfort of her cottage, Cuphea’s Nest, she discovers that life has more chapters waiting to be written.
Amidst the backdrop of a harsh winter, Liberty’s routine life is gently disrupted by her neighbour, Joseph Beam, a widower grappling with his own sea of grief. As they navigate their daily lives, an unexpected friendship blossoms, offering them a chance at healing and rediscovery.
But La Libre Rose is more than a tale of newfound companionship. It is a journey through time, where magical realms speak of undying love, and historical echoes remind us of the resilience of the human spirit. From the enchanting whispers of fairies in the holly tree to the poignant memories of a world torn by war, this novel weaves a rich narrative of love, loss, and the enduring hope for a better tomorrow.
As Liberty and Joseph find solace in each other’s company, they are unwittingly guided by the mystical forces of the universe, leading them to uncover the true meaning of home and heart. Will the magic of Dorset and the legacy of the past empower Liberty to embrace her future?

End Day
The story unravels in the dusty dryness of Baghdad, Iraq, which reminded Jake of Woomera, and the Colony of Clones. Living in a science-fiction reality, Dago from the Colony sees it as his duty to take control in his hero-quest to take-over as a world leader.
A spume of volcanic ash erupts at Medina and Mecca, forcing thousands of gallons of oil-enriched emissions skywards. This in turn affects Muslim pilgrims as they make their way through the Zamzam valley to the Ka’bah, Islam’s most holy site.
Adventure lies ahead, querying the tomes of antiquity. Dago had done it again:
First the bomb at the Vatican and, now, the eruption at Medina and Mecca; boundaries are crossed in an all-consuming blur. Dago’s appearance does not raise eyebrows, as a unique saviour is common to many religious beliefs. Dago believes that by unlocking the genome he and his sister, Mary, obtain their potential, becoming not only world leaders but gods. Dago sets out on his hero-quest, dragging Ator with him, boasting they are perfect organisms made for the survival of their selfish genes.
From antiquity to the modern day, the reader is engaged in a journey of discovery that could define either the future, or end in the destruction of mankind.

The Governor General Cleaned My Shoes
“Even before I was born, I was trying to do things my own way. I made life difficult for my mother, Jess, who was confined to bed for the last trimester of her pregnancy. I had disappointed my father, Geoff, by insisting that I be born a day earlier than his birthday, and I had mercifully waylaid their plans to call me Elizabeth.”
So begins my story that has me watching rockets going up at the Woomera Rocket Range, beating the boys at marbles (and winning the prized milky white marble with coloured orange waves), nearly being run over in a toilet, swimming with a snake on my way to inspect a very dead horse, setting tongues wagging in Canberra in a Commonwealth car and eliminating plastic bananas from Australia’s entire eastern seaboard. And yes, the Governor General did clean my shoes.
