The Archive Undying (2023)
(Downworld Sequence, book 1)

The Mountain in the Sea (2022)
Ray Nayler
"I came to The Mountain in the Sea for the cephalopods (I love cephalopods) but I stayed for the fascinating meditation on consciousness and personhood. I loved this book."

Furious Heaven (2022)
(Sun Chronicles, book 2)
Kate Elliott
"Non-stop action! Space battles! Intrigue!."

January Fifteenth (2022)
Rachel Swirsky
"Rachel's stories are super-smart and gorgeously written. It's [a short blurb], but it has the virtue of being true."

The Grief of Stones (2022)
(Chronicles of Osreth, book 2)
Katherine Addison
"Just what I needed."

"Miller gives us an incisive and beautifully written story of love, revenge, and the power (and failure) of family in a scarily plausible future. Blackfish City simmers with menace and heartache, suspense and wonder. Plus, it has lots of action and a great cast of characters. Not to mention an orca and a polar bear!"
