Testimonial by Governor Mike Huckabee: On November 13, 1982, Ron Miller personally leased an L-1011 from Delta Airlines and took 300 Vietnam Veterans to the dedication of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. As a result of his remarkable efforts, President Ronald Reagan asked him to form the Georgia Vietnam Veterans Leadership Program, a volunteer organization that was recognized as one of the best in the nation by President George H.W. Bush, who presented Ron and the GVVLP with his prestigious Thousand Points of Light award for their service to Veterans and their families. Hopefully this story will encourage all Americans to reach out to others with their assistance. Testimonial by Col. Leo Thorsness, USAF (Ret.), Medal of Honor (was held prisoner in Hanoi, Vietnam, for six years; author, "Surviving Hell: A POW's Journey"): Readers will come away from Ron's book inspired and knowing that one man can make a difference. Ron devoted his life to help Veterans-to help those willing to give all for our country. Read Ron's book and you will have a checklist how to make a difference in your life, your community; your country. Testimonial by Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady, USA (Ret.), Medal of Honor, Vietnam (author, "Dead Men Flying" about Dust-off pilots in Vietnam): America has no kings or queens, no Dukes or Duchesses, but we do have nobility. America's nobility is called Veterans-Ron Miller is part of that nobility. His remarkable story is typical of so many veterans who come from humble origins and contribute so much to the country we love-they never stop serving. Men and women like Ron are true patriots who prove their love of America by supporting and defending her, unlike the multitude of faux patriots who claim to love America but do nothing to support and defend her. And men and women like Ron give lie to the media lies of the Vietnam veteran as a homeless helpless miscreant. The Vietnam Veteran is a productive and patriotic citizen as is Ron and his book is a perfect example of one Vietnam veteran's extraordinary service to the country they love.

This book focuses on the screen adaptations of 65 famous mysteries and examines how the filmmakers either succeeded or failed in the telling of the story. Interviews with several famous mystery writers are included, with their comments on how filmmakers treated their work.

"Ron Miller has the rare gift of being a visionary in two ways: a superb imaginative artist who is also a fine storyteller. I've been an admirer of his paintings for many years; what a pleasure it is to discover that his short stories are just as wonderful.

My name is Velda Bellinghausen. I'm a private investigator. I used to be a showgirl at Slotnik's Follies, but I got pretty sick and tired of shedding my clothes twice a day, four times on weekends for matinees. So I followed up on an ad I saw on a matchbook cover and sent in my twenty bucks for the Hawkshaw Course on Detection. It was the best twenty bucks I ever spent, too In no time at all, I had my license and was in business for myself Now I'm called upon to investigate murders, burglaries, and all sorts of crimes occurring in the big city. Velda: Girl Detective - VOLUME ONE is a multi-leveled representation of not only the more lurid of the 1950s crime comics but of comic collecting itself. The book is also more than a passing homage to the noir films and hard-boiled detective school of writing of the 1950s. Purporting to be an anthology of all the issues of a little-known golden age comic, it includes a history of the creation of the comic, an interview with its creator and an episode list of the "Girl Detective" TV show as well as special features. This volume also includes vintage ads as well as comic features such as "Hawkshaw Hawk, Bird Detective" and "Neolithica: Girl of the Pleistocene." "Velda is the kind of detective I like."- Richard S. Prather (writer, Shell Scott novels). "Hubba Hubba " - Kevin Burton Smith, thrillingdetective.com. "A pulp classic If you like your action gritty, yet full of surprises, then you'll love Velda..." - Rick Overton (writer, Dennis Miller Show, actor). "The Velda Comic is spectacular. I felt like I was a kid again as it had the real flavor of the old detective comics I used to read." - Bob Burns

For centuries, astronomers have placed a special interest on the other planets of the solar system. But with the advent of spacecraft and the tremendous missions undertaken by the Voyager and Cassini probes, astronomers have discovered that the natural satellites of the planets--the solar system's moons--are some of the most extraordinary places imaginable. There are moons with towering geysers, erupting volcanoes, and subterranean oceans of warm, mineral-rich water. Some of the highest mountains and deepest canyons can be found on the moons. There are moons that have shattered into pieces and then reassembled. There is even a moon where it rains rocket fuel. Recently, scientists have turned to the moons for answers in their investigations of the origins of the solar system and the evolution of life on our own planet. Featuring full-color, scientifically accurate illustrations by NASA artist Ron Miller, Natural Satellites: The Book of Moons chronicles these investigations and the questions we have yet to answer in our exploration of the solar system's moons.

Aliens: Past, Present, Future covers the subject of extraterrestrial life from every angle, from the earliest speculations more than 400 years ago to today's ongoing search for Earth 2.0. In between are lessons learned about how life originated on our own planet, as well as the story behind the vast cult that has grown up around "flying saucers" and strange visitors from other planets, including popular culture renditions of them.The book is organised into three parts. Part 1 reviews humankind's changing thinking about possible worlds other than our own through history. Part 2 discusses the science of extraterrestrial life in a way that every reader - non-scientist and scientist alike - will understand. And Part 3 explores the deep impact the idea of extraterrestrial beings has had - not only on science and space exploration but on popular culture as well - and its potential impact on philosophy and religion. The very concept of extraterrestrial life has been a driving force behind our exploration of the universe and a pervasive presence in movies, books, comics and advertising throughout the past century. Written by bestselling author Ron Miller, the book features more than 200 illustrations - from centuries-old engravings, book, comic and magazine art, movie posters, purported UFO photographs, to colour illustrations showing what today's cutting-edge scientists think extraterrestrial life could be like. Could there even be aliens among us already?

The Book of Balance is an interesting book from the author of Walking in the Covenant of Salt, The Glory of God's Law, and The Book of David, Ron has written The Book of Balance which examines the most controversial issues in the body of Christ. The entire examination of these major points of division centers around a method of Bible study found in Isaiah 28. In the following pages, Ron will address six major points of controversy among sincere Bible-believing Christians. While there are many other points of controversy, he will deal specifically with these: The security of the believer; The Godhead; Water baptism, mode and application; Divorce and remarriage in the church; The return of Christ - pre, mid, or post tribulation; The evidence of the believer's fullness of the Holy Spirit.In Chapter one Ron gives the reader the pattern used for coming to the conclusions concerning the controversies we address. It is strongly urged that readers refrain from turning to the chapter of the book that deals with the controversy he or she finds most interesting. Chapter one is a must to read in order to understand the study pattern that is referenced in every chapter. Brother Ron does not pretend to believe that this humble effort will right the wrong or solve a problem of such magnitude. He does not believe that he has arrived at the status of theologian or prophet. He does not believe this book will decide or establish a central and general doctrine that the whole body will accept. However, Ron does firmly believe that out of a heart of grief for the division in the body of Christ over major themes, and a zeal for believers to be one, he has been inspired to address these points of controversy. He has also committed himself to address these controversies in the simplest possible way, in the use of everyday layman's terms.
