Read about my writing, writing-related events, and more of what I do at my blog. I post regularly.

PUBLIC SERVICE

In collaboration with photographer John Freidah, I researched and wrote THE WAR ON TERROR: Coming Home, an eight-part Providence Journal series, with six videos, on veterans of the post-9/11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. My 16th major newspaper series, it began on October 2, 2011, and ran through November 7, 2011. Read and watch here. The feature-length documentary from the series, COMING HOME, premiered online Dec. 29, 2011 and was broadcast on Rhode Island PBS on March 26, 2012, and later dates. On April 12, 2012, COMING HOME, edited by Cecilia Prestamo, won an Edward R. Murrow Award from the Radio Television Digital News Association and is nominated as oustanding documentary in the 35th annual New England Emmy Awards.

SINCE THE SKY BLEW OFF

"Explorations of alienation, madness, the afterlife and post-apocalyptic existence fill this first volume of the collected short stories of G. Wayne Miller," says Amazon/Kindle about SINCE THE SKY BLEW OFF, my ninth book, published April 5, 2012. Available in multiple formats, including iPad.

BIOGRAPHY

With 36 years in the U.S. Senate and a long list of accomplishments that included the Pell Grants and creation of the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities, the late Claiborne Pell had few equals. But he was much more than that -- a quirky and colorful man born into wealth who spent most of his life in public service, a true example of noblesse oblige. AN UNCOMMON MAN: The Life and Times of Senator Claiborne Pell, my eighth book, published in October 2011 from University Press of New England, is the first and only book about his life. The book launched with a gala event attended by 200 people on Oct. 16, 2011, at the Pell Center at Salve Regina University in Newport, R.I.

AN UNCOMMON MAN is available in hard copy and on Kindle. Also available, the Kindle edition of another of my biographies, KING OF HEARTS. King of Hearts is also on Barnes and Noble's Nook.

DOCUMENTARY

I write and produce documentary movies, including the feature-length ON THE LAKE: Life and Love in a Distant Place, about the tuberculosis epidemic of 1900s America and globally today, broadcast on PBS, and BEHIND THE HEDGEROW: Eileen Slocum and the Meaning of Newport Society, about today's old-money Newport, a world whose roots lie in the Gilded Age of Vanderbilts and Astors, also aired on PBS. The third documentary I wrote and co-produced is COMING HOME, based on my Fall 2011 Journal series. It premiered online Dec. 29, 2011, and will be broadcast on Rhode Island PBS starting 8 p.m. March 26, 2012. I will moderate a live, in-studio panel discussion after the film. Look for the documentary to be shown in other venues later this year.

MILLER PICTURES

With Los Angeles producer and screenwriter Drew Smith, I have screen projects in development, including a TV pilot and the screen adaption of KING OF HEARTS.

MORE STORIES

In my earlier days as a horror and mystery writer, I contributed stories to the fabled NECON convention. Recently published: a collection of the best of NECON, including a story by Stephen King and one by me, Freddy and Rita, a post-Apocalyptic piece. For more, visit the BIG BOOK OF NECON page. Publisher's Weekly calls it "a killer lineup." And read SUMMER LOVE, the screenplay, a story of passion and obsession. Or download it through iTunes.
