Dark Light Is Out On Amazon!!

 Paragons Of Virtue Book 4 is live on Amazon Kindle :-)




Greetings -  I'm Gard of The Dark Creed, and I'm having a bad century.  When I was shot for the third time and that’s before I even reached Earth, I knew I’d made a terrible mistake.

But when I was ordered to massacre the innocent, something snapped in my brain.  With the hunger already on me, warriors closing in, and my body shutting down, I was almost defeated. But there was hope. I had my Skyblade, I had 3000 fanatical paratroopers, and I had the chance of escape.  So I gave them the best pep talk I could think of:

“Pray they don’t take you alive…"

Kidnapped into Slavery, a Young Woman Must Challenge Everything She Knows to Lead a Rebellion Against Her Cruel Masters

Gard was destined for greatness until the day her planet was invaded and she was sold into slavery by her weak-willed father. Forced to do the bidding of the ruthless pirate clan called the Dark Creed, Gard became an elite warrior feared across the stars. But even as she wins battle after battle in the name of her masters, a growing sense of unease makes her question her loyalty.

Will Gard find the courage to turn against the only family she has ever known? When an unlikely alliance forms to challenge the Dark Creed, Gard is torn between her duty and her conscience. The choice she makes will determine the fate of civilizations across the galaxy.

In this epic space opera tale, you’ll discover:

• Extraterrestrial battles between massive armies, with legions of super-powered fighters wielding devastating alien weaponry

• Political intrigue, betrayals, and shifting alliances among three spacefaring civilizations

• A richly-imagined galaxy filled with sentient crystals, elemental magic, and demonic soul-stealing pirates

• Inner turmoil and moral awakening in a complex central character raised as an instrument of terror

• Heroes, villains, confidants, and more in a diverse cast of unforgettable alien species

Back in Action: Garry Miller Returns with Double Delight and a 4th Paragons Book on the Way!

Hello, my dear readers and friends!

It's been a long three years, but I'm thrilled to announce that I'm back in action and bursting with excitement! During my hiatus, I've been working tirelessly on some thrilling new projects, and today, I'm here to share the big news with you.

"Rising Son" - A Tale of Justice and Redemption



First up is my latest novel, "Rising Son." This one has been brewing in my mind for quite some time, since 2016 specifically and I can't wait to introduce you to the world I've crafted. It's a thrilling blend of superheroes, martial arts, and blaxploitation intrigue, featuring a young boy who witnesses a devastating tragedy, setting the stage for a gripping quest for justice and revenge. With supernatural twists, intense martial arts mastery, and a rich, gritty backdrop, "Rising Son" promises to keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions as you dive into this unforgettable story!

"One For Sorrow Two For Joy" - A Story About A Gentleman Thief & Duality



But that's not all! I've also released another novel titled "One For Sorrow Two For Joy." This one is set in my Paragons universe but isn't about a Paragon - this is about a soldier from another planet who is facing court-martial, so he flees to Earth and assumes the identity of a dead man. However, he is pursued by a number of oddball hunters who vow to drag him back. It's a story close to my heart, and I can't wait for you to experience it.

What's Next? A Sneak Peek at The 4th Paragons Book



Now, for the cherry on top of this exciting comeback announcement - I'm currently working on Dark Light.! While I can't reveal too much just yet, I can promise you that it's going to be a mind-bending ride through the uncharted territories of military sci-fi and space pirates! Look back at previous posts for more on the Paragon's resident flying brick. Stay tuned for more updates and teasers as I delve deeper into this thrilling project.

A Special Thanks to You

Before I sign off, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each one of you who has supported me over the years. Your encouragement, feedback, and unwavering enthusiasm have been my driving force, and I couldn't have come back without you. I'm back, and I'm more motivated than ever to bring you stories that will captivate your imagination and touch your hearts.

So, mark your calendars, my friends, because "Rising Son" and "One For Sorrow Two For Joy" are now available on Amazon [The images are clickable links] for you to enjoy. I can't wait to hear your thoughts and reactions to these new adventures, and I promise you, there's much more to come.

Paragons Of Virtue Book 4 First Draft Complete!

This November, you wrote a novel. This is no small feat. Fifty-thousand words in 30 days requires you to develop a mastery of time: collecting seconds, minutes, and hours every day to create something brand new out of that shining raw material.
What an incredible way to shape your time, your space. Thank you for writing. Thank you for doing it with us. Congratulations, again and again, many times into the future.


Yes indeed - the 4th book in the Paragons Of Virtue series [featuring the black Yakuza martial artist Arubatorosu] is finished.

Well... the first draft that is.  Now it's NaEdYoShiMo... or National Edit Your Shit Month.

Love the way this book has been stuck for so long, then slowly began to emerge and finally came together as November went on.  

At last we have the origin story of our strong silent superhero and how a black guy could rise to the rank of Oyabun of the Yakuza in Vancouver Canada.

This is set 10 years before "SprawlBall" in 2043 and really breathes life into a character that Jonny McNair played during our Champions RPG games back in the 1980s.

Got some editing to do, some seasoning to sprinkle through the manuscript and a wee bit of tidying up, but I'm quite pleased with the final result and I hope readers will be too.

Follow me on Facebook or Twitter so you're the first to hear when the book goes live on Amazon :-)

Paragons Of Virtue Superhero Novels Update

Hi there Believers!

Been a while!



I was working hard on getting my galactic military sci fi novel "Dark Light" finished [featuring a certain muscular female alien who'll hit the streets - literally - very soon] before National Novel Writing Month in November 18, then used that to start the Arubatorosu novel [working title Samurai Soul] and that's been crawling for months. 



Really challenged by this one, trying to keep the vibe of the original masked martial artist with very little to say, while once and for all telling the story of how a black youth rose to the heights of Yakuza Oyabun.



So while that continues to simmer in the stew pot, I'll give you a teaser of Book 8 by letting you see the comic strip version of the Paragons' origin story.  This was the Champions RPG game play of the Vipers' Nest scenario that came in the box, and in this scene its the Combat In Christopher Park - a battle I remember fondly from the late eighties.
