Self Bio

Herb Miller lives in Rowlands Castle with his wife Susan, and sleek black and white cat, Sergeant Bramble. He’s been collecting SBs for half his lifetime. If you ask him why he’ll say Simply Because. His favourites to date are the short but sweet, palindromic sub bus, the sulphurous brewmasters Googlewhack and of course, seriously bonkers, simply brilliant and silly B. He fully expects his short booklet to become a shortlisted bestseller. Buy the book from herbmiller.me/shop
