A retired chef of over 40 years, James Miller has finally achieved his dream of becoming a writer. This is his third book - a sequel to the first - written during the Covid shutdown. Married for 35 years to Jill, he has three children and four grandchildren. James enjoys travelling and meeting people along the way, which helps to inspire his writing creativity. Having achieved a lot as a chef, James hopes one day to write a piece of work that will propel him forward in the literary world and hopefully make him a bestseller.
