"Though his books are labeled literary thrillers, Miller is most concerned with his characters, who struggle with issues of discrimination, identity, ideological rigidity, and belonging."

• Poets & Writers Magazine "Miller's skillful economy of language and penchant for playing the cards close to the vest—or chest plate—works to his advantage as the tale picks up momentum/mayhem and puts an intriguing, nonstereotyped lead character through pitfalls and deadly perils of parahumanity. Ghost in the Shell fans will have a blast."
• Kirkus Reviews "A truly layered piece of fiction"
• ABC's news magazine program, "CityLine" "High-tech thrillers with complex characters"
• San Jose Mercury News "A lean, well-oiled narrative"
• Kirkus Reviews Jonathan R. Miller is an author of genre-bending thrillers and YA fantasy stories featuring diverse, complex characters. Miller was born in Illinois, lived in New Mexico for most of his childhood, and then became a California transplant after undergraduate school at Stanford University. He was an 8th-grade teacher for 7 years in the Oakland public school system, and has worked as a writer in the San Francisco Bay Area ever since. Miller's own biracial heritage has had a strong influence on his thought processes and writing approach. His novels deftly explore issues of identity while providing storylines that are layered, thought-provoking, and moving.
