Short Stories By George Miller.
 
Sixteen short stories, many of which sprouted on a commuter train between Washington D.C. and western Maryland over three decades. Some lay dormant in a shoebox on the floor of a bedroom closet until revived for this compilation. George Miller, an entrepreneur and former federal official, recalls in his introduction to Loaded for Bear that most trains sported a party car and that passengers leaving stressful jobs in the world's most powerful city boarded with a briefcase and stories to share. But Miller, a lifelong Marylander, allows that some of the stories herein - among them Loaded for Bear, Breech Birth and Green Card - took root from his own experiences..
Miller also is the author of The Best Free Verse Ten Dollars Can Buy, a book of poems, Cooper Finds Her Thermal, an illustrated allegory, and other works. His writing has appeared in American Writers Review and other literary outlets. 
“George Miller is a weaver who celebrates life in a tapestry of compelling tiles that are anything but average,” Don Shomette, an author and history, writes on the book’s back cover. “His soft humor, embellished with a topping of intimacy, soul and nostalgia, always rings true."
