Eric James Miller is a novelist happily transplanted from L.A. to Las Vegas since 2006. A veteran of the independent film world and former resident of Venice, California, he finds life in the desert less neurotic, but equally as eclectic and entertaining as Hollywood and the So Cal beach communities.
