Christy Miller

My first book THE DRAGON CHILD can be ordered through Helm Publishing, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and many other online places that sell books. You will not find it in bookstores because it has been printed through a smaller company and it is considdered a 'publish on demand' book. I am currently working on book two and three.

If you would like to know more about it, please visit my Personal Web Page. I have posted 3 sample chapters of The Dragon Child here, but to read the rest, you’ll have to buy the book! *evil grin*

This is what some critics have said about the book.

“One of the best writers I’ve seen. Her stories catch anyone’s eye, from child to adult. CK Miller’s The Dragon Child is and absolutely exiting and breathtaking novel. Once you turn the first page you won’t be able to put it down; a coming-of-age story that will be remembered for years.”

-Kristopher Brown

The Dragon Child is an absolutely thrilling book; you won’t be able to put it down. The creative, yet simple style allows for easy reading and active imagination.”

-Trina Kackstaetter

CK Miller’s The Dragon Child is a work of literary genius. Teens and Young Adults everywhere will love this book!”

-Emily Cole

NOTE: Vondur Tales is a story I am writing with my friend Tina Marshall. She has given me permission to post these chapters here however, many of these chapters are still a work in progress.

Date Name Comment   31 Mar 2008 Confused Loading... Hi, where can I access Assassin Princess? After reading your other work (which I love) I am very keen to read these chapters. Christy Miller replies: "The Assassin Princess is the very, very, very old version of The Soldier Princess... which has now been changed to The Dragon Child. You can check my personal website www.ckmillerhome.com to read the more updated versions of the book. It should be in stores MAY!!!" 2 Jul 2008 Chris A Jackson Loading... Congratulations on Dragon Child. Drop me an e-mail... I’d love to know how your experience with Helm Publishing went. Cheers! Christy Miller replies: "Right now I have to give Helm Publishing an OK> there is one lady managing the whole thing and it’s going really slowly... not to mention that my manuscript got completely messed up. They don’t seem to have an editor on duty. I had to go through it over 5000000000000000... (you get the point) times! I’m almost sick of my book now! Anyway, I hope it’s all worth it!" 6 Jul 2008 Chris A Jackson Loading... That was kind of the impression I got from Helm... Back when they first started out, I was looking at some small presses, and went to their web site. On their main page, I found four typo and grammatical errors... Not for me... I don’t want to dis them, or any other publisher, but it’s definitely a buyer (author) beware market right now... I’m working with a new small press as well. Aisling Press. I am hoping it turns out well... I will probably be putting Scimitar Moon in their hands very soon. Keep in touch, and post on my page if you want any help with anything... an edit?... Christy Miller replies: "My book can be ordered through Barnes and Noble or Amazon now! Yay!" 19 Jul 2008 Chris A Jackson Loading... The company I’m looking at is Aisling Press. Though now I’m rethinking. Nothing bad to say about Aisling, but I do believe I’m selling myself short. I’m soliciting agents now. If I score... great. If not, I have lost nothing but some time... I got lots of that... Christy Miller replies: "Aisling . . . sounds familiar. I don’t know really... I think I might have submitted a query letter to them. Any tips on how to get an agent? I need one too. It’s too much work getting eveything done myself. " 27 Jul 2008 Chris A Jackson Loading... Here is a great site on submitting query letters to agents... Follow the rules... http://www.agentquery.com/ Agents come in three flavors, the good, the bad and the predators. Good agents respond to your queries quickly, do not charge reading fees and work hard for you because they earn their money when you do (actually before you do, but that’s another story). The bad agents bring you on as a client, then do nothing... I had one of those... Strangely, those are the hardest to spot ahead of time. Once you figure it out, however, simply cancel the contract. The predators charge reading fees, offer "editorial" services, and are often authors themselves, or work for small press publishers... Conflict of interest... Anyway, if you want more advice, email : chris@jaxbooks.com Cheers! Christy Miller replies: "Great! Thank you so much for the advice and all the help. I might contact you later!" 8 Sep 2008 Emma Kathryn McDonald Loading... Well done on getting published! Will have to hunt down your book! I have an obsessive reading problem and am always looking for new books to devour. Especially books by a fellow Elfwooder, who’s out there getting all successful and all that jazz! Congrats! Lotsaluv, Em Christy Miller replies: "Oh Thank you! When you do get my book, e-mail me and let me know what you REALLY think. I want an honest opinion. " 4 Nov 2008 Brad A. Dawson Loading... Congratulations on being published Christy Miller replies: "Thank you!" 17 Dec 2008 Kristopher Brown Loading... I finally got your book in the mail! I’m on the second chapter; not very far, I know, but I’m reading two books at once. Anyway, the book looks AMAZING. Christy Miller replies: "Yeah... there is really no way to describe the feeling of when you first hold your book in your hands!" 14 Mar 2009 Dina Enethea Rapp Loading... I love your artwork! And your stories! You are a really great source of inspiration for me! 15 Jun 2009 Charalampos mega Loading... can you sent me you email address to ask you something about one of your scetch private ....(from Greece) Christy Miller replies: "keatep@yahoo.com" Page: [1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
