Little Did We Know tells the remarkable story of the Trans Alaska Pipeline through the eyes of John Miller, who shouldered responsibility for financing Sohio's portion of the Alaskan venture that transformed the company from a small, regional oil refiner and marketer into the fifteenth largest US industrial corporation. TAPS, as the pipeline is known, carries crude oil 800 miles from the Prudhoe Bay field on the North Slope of Alaska to the ice-free port of Valdez on the state's southern coast. Building the pipeline-one of the largest private industrial projects ever undertaken-was an incredible feat of engineering, and for Sohio, of financing. This is a saga about an engineer with no formal training in finance surmounting an onslaught of financial challenges, raising more than $6 billion over a decade-something many thought was well beyond Sohio's capabilities.

The outbreak of World War ll is imminent, and the British government have just discovered that a young boy, James Edwards, has an extraordinary talent. He can talk to planes and what they tell him could make the difference between the allies winning or losing the war. Fearing for his safety, James is whisked off to a private school in Perthshire. However, his protector, a member of British Intelligence, is not all he seems, and it is not long before James is in grave danger.This is a remarkable story of courage under fire, of strength, resilience and ingenuity, and a young boy’s rite of passage into adulthood. Although marketed as an adventure story to age 9 – 12 readers, the book’s historical and aeronautical accuracy may also appeal to older readers, especially flying enthusiasts and readers of war literature.

Miller, M.D.’s THE SORCERER OF THE RED MIST, the sequel to THE BOOK OF SPELLS and the second book in this magical series. With an adventure that pits good against evil, that challenges the fortitude of young and old alike, and that reminds us of the power of courage, Dr. John provides another great adventure for readers of all ages.When the Royal Family of Vilgar disappears in a mysterious red mist, Prince Brayden tasks his boyhood friend and Captain of the Royal Guards, Christian, with finding them. Giving Christian a magical sapphire ring handed down to Brayden by his father, King Audric, Brayden charges Christian with traveling to the Forest of Time to find their former tutor and mentor, the good wizard Martir. Prince Brayden hopes that with Martir’s help his family can be rescued.But, with his powers limited by a curse put on him by the evil sorcerer Malecar, Martir cannot leave his forest without great risk. Knowing that he will be of no real help to the Prince, Martir instead sends his apprentice, Cork. During his years spent with Martir as a caretaker for the animals in the Forest of Time, Cork benefitted greatly from tutoring by the wizard. He is more than willing to stand in Martir’s stead and bring his training in magic to the aid of Prince Brayden.Join our heroes on their dangerous journey and see, in the end, if courage, love, loyalty, and heart will prevail over evil—and just what might happen if it does.
