Books with author H. H. And H. P. Miller

A memoir of family, truth and secrets and what it was like to grow up in small-town Britain in the years following the Second World War. "A wonderful book ... anyone yet to read it has a real treat in store ..." - John Lindley, Cheshire Poet Laureate & Manchester Cathedral Poet of the Year. The War is over and a generation returns home to build peace, determined to create a new society, protected from cradle to grave. On the beautiful Dorset coast, baby boomer, Andy Miller, grows up surrounded by the security and nurture of the 1950s welfare state that will propel him from council estate to university. In a series of vignettes and stories, some humorous and some poignant, the author describes growing up in this vanished post-War world. But, what happens when one day, decades later, he discovers that everything he thought was true is not? Reviews Chris Thompson, writer for radio and TV (including The Archers, Heartbeat, Emmerdale and stand-alone radio plays), described the book as “highly recommended” saying that it is “as relevant to a child of the grimy north as to one brought up in coastal Dorset. Time and again I found myself recognising myself in the author's attempts to negotiate family, friendships, romantic stirrings and the occasional, casual cruelties of children. The writing is lovely; lyrical, subtle, original and surprising”. Tony Jones, 2016 winner of the Writers Guild of Great Britain Award for Best Radio Drama, described the book as "excellent" and "... much more than regional nostalgia. The writing can shift from lovingly recalled detail to moments of powerful experience, and everything is jolted into another perspective by the last two sections, giving the whole piece a new significance and weight". Dorset-based writer, Judi Moore, says "... Miller is not afraid to dig deeply into his memories. He finds some which are poignant, others which show him in a less favourable light. He is an honest author with a broad palette with which to colour his childhood". And Nottingham author, Frances Thimann, has called the book "... (a) vivid and touching account of a time of hope and innocence (with) darker currents hinted at many times throughout".

Weirder Than Sharknado!!!OK, maybe not, but sharks are pretty amazing creatures. They have been around for millions of years. There are so many different species - over 400, to be exact. And they range in size from less than two feet to over 39 feet long. Some, like the shyshark, are mild and timid. Others, like the hammerhead shark, are aggressive and they sit on top of the food chain.Weird Sharks take a look at just a few of the most unusual sharks there are. Some look cool like the leopard shark. Others are ugly, like the goblin shark. All of them are special - and weird - in their own way.Enjoy the colorful pictures and the fun facts about these weird sharks!

In the 1800s, when Alaska was still a territory, many came for the gold, abundant fisheries, and the fur trade--but some came to swindle, to take advantage, and prey on the innocent. Yukon was Canadian, Alaska was U.S. The two territories were intertwined, and dependent on one another. When circumstances dictated, men of a more Nobel character than most, took it upon themselves to make Right. Maintain The Right--a Canadian North West Mounted Police motto, also became known in Alaska. Some writers of history, have a tradition, an intent, to purposely slant truth, to portray certain characters or events in a more favorable light, or simply to hide the facts. They tend to treat the common man as though he didn't exist. Unmentioned are the true heroes, those who do not seek fame, but simply live their lives with purpose, then fade away, forgotten in time. In keeping with that tradition, I have inserted my characters into true events. Some historical figures you will readily recognize, others will surprise you. Locations still exist and can be visited today, Fort Whoop-Up in Alberta Canada, and the Davidson Ditch, north of Fairbanks are fine examples.
