Steve Miller is rapidly approaching one of those milestones many writers never reach -- one million words in print. He's written science fiction, been a reporter, edited newspapers, and written articles for newspapers.

As a drama critic Steve's covered opening night plays and as a blues and rock music critic he's covered everything from one-gig garage bands to the Baltimore club scene to Bob Dylan and Little Feat in concert.

TimeRags II might seem an oddity to those who know him as a fictioneer, critic, or journalist, but Steve -- grandson of internationally esteemed poet Dorothea Neale -- spent portions of his early writing years as a touring coffee house poet and reader.

In response to audience requests, Steve's first book, TimeRags, was published in 1975 in an edition of 200 copies. TimeRags II updates that edition, with three poems added and two deleted; a number of typographical errors have been corrected and some minor changes in punctuation and order of presentation were made. Enjoy!
