Eric B. Miller grew up in southern New Jersey. He holds a BA from Denison University and an MA from Hollins College. While working on farms in Virginia, Maryland, and Belgium, he pursued writing but gave it up for twenty years in business and eighteen more with the American Red Cross. Following the death of his wife in 2019, he returned to writing, first with Hula Girls, a novel, then Little Known Stories, a poetic tribute. Reuniting after fifty years, he and Judith M. Meloy now live and work together in Vermont and New Jersey. Tidewater is first of a two-volume work.
