A sequence of short stories set in Key West. Each tale is a slice of life--people working on their dreams. The mood of the piece as a whole is comic irony in the style of Florida Fiction. Jon Michael Miller, the author of "Roz: A Jamaican Lolita" among other fictional works, masterfully creates a cast of characters: a retiree beachcomber, a Japanese porn star, a Hip-Hop thug, a Cuban ex-patriot, a dowdy motel owner, a lovely teenage virgin, a bored naval wife, a caustic lesbian writing teacher, a punk street prostitute, a repentant pedophile, an all-American med student, a salty charter captain, a Native American art dealer, an Iranian refugee, and an African American ex-boxer mystic. Each story stands alone yet all are interelated so that taken in sequence they read like a novel.Visit his website: www.JonMichaelMiller.com .

"Thrown Together" is a love story set in the turmoil of 1968-1970. Two Ohio State grad students--Matthew Boyer just back from the Vietnam War and Amy St. Claire disenchanted with her traditional marriage--meet, share a friendship and fall in love amid the chaos. In a back story, Matt tries to adopt a child he rescued during a Vietnam firefight. The child struggles to survive in a Saigon orphanage. Amy and Matthew's relationship takes them from quiet campus life, Woodstock, across the country to San Francisco and back to the Ohio campus, closed by protests during the Kent State shootings. They grow and change, groping for and finally discovering their life paths. They are thrown together with other characters: Molly Sparks and Fred Burleson, fellow grad students; Richard St. Claire, Amy's husband; A confused little Yorkie named Oz; Amy's parents, Matthew's also; Professor Dietrich, Matthew's mentor; Laura, Matthew's ex, whose photo he cherishes; Mick, a greaser pursuer of Amy; Gina, Amy's best friend, a dancer in California; Eric, a freewheeling Sausalito hedonist, and Megan Vandermoor, an avid campus idealist. Thrown together by their times, they all search for the answers to the era's overwhelming questions.

Miller rose to the upper ranks of the organization when it reached the height of its worldwide popularty in the seventies and eighties. The memoir presents his early years as a formative backdrop to his later receptiveness to Eastern philosophy. His evolution in the Movement was greatly influenced by issues arising from his love of a beautiful, enigmatic woman to whom he gives the name Mallory Turner. Thus, the account is a love story as well as a document of spiritual growth and questioning.The author writes with wit, irony and an impressive candor about not only his successes but also his failures. He answers the questions of why he got into the TM movement and of why he got out.

Pete Vogelsong, 38, breaking from a cult, returns to his old college to start a new career. Natalie Neff, 36, takes a menial job on her way back from horrendous grief. Then there is Vivien McBride, 22, who masks her pain from a past love affair in flamboyant promiscuity.In a time before laptops and cellphones, before H.I.V. and the War on Terror, three strangers meet, wrangle and grow. Thanks to Miller's careful hand, we share their voyage through confession, friction, and resolution, through humor, self-reflection, anguish, mutual concern and personal evolution. We laugh with them, worry about them, wring our hands at their decisions, feel their sorrows and joys, and finally come to know them simply as unforgettable.What more do we ask from a work of fiction? This novel is supremely satisfying. Indeed, Miller has given us a masterpiece.
