Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Sam B. Miller II holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance, and a Master of Business Administration degree in Finance, from the University of Tennessee. He has five children and lives with his wife, Susan, and their many dogs, in Northeast Tennessee. The Origin of F.O.R.C.E. is his first novel.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Origin of F.O.R.C.E. The Federal Organization for Response to Celestial Enemies. I like the concept of humans winning in the end against all odds.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
None that I know of but one of my close friends is a psychologist so I may ask him.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I was inspired by the works of Robert Heinlein, John W. Campbell, David Weber and E. E. Doc Smith. My special favorites are Sixth Column by Heinlein, Mutineers Moon by Weber, the Skylark series by Smith, The Mightiest Machine and The Black Star Passes by Campbell.
What are you working on now?
I am contemplating the outline of the sequel to The Origin of F.O.R.C.E. There will definitely be at least one if not two sequels.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I must have the assistance of experts such as Awesomegang!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
It is virtually impossible to edit your own work. Your brain will read your written words just like you thought you typed those words. You will pass right over errors because your brain knows what you meant. Your brain won’t see all your errors because it’s not a disinterested witness.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Stay out of the stock market! 🙂
What are you reading now?
The Divergent series.
What’s next for you as a writer?
My second book, the sequel.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?

Mutineers Moon
Invaders from the Infinite
