J.R. Miller

J.R. Miller is a Southern storyteller with a deep appreciation for nature, camaraderie, and the transformative power of adventure. A marketing graduate of the University of Georgia, Miller spent summers working in national parks, an experience that shaped the heart of The Hike Not Taken. Drawing from a lifetime of travel and outdoor exploration—from the Everglades of Florida to the White Mountains of New Hampshire to the redwoods of California—Miller brings vivid landscapes and rich character dynamics to life. In this debut novella, six teenagers navigate the challenges of a summer job at NorthStar Lodge in Triple Divide National Park, forging friendships and discovering themselves in the untamed beauty of the Rocky Mountains.
