Bob Miller has been a professional magician for twenty years, performing on stage and table-side magic. He has also created several of his own tricks which he sells on his website.
In addition to magic, Bob works as a programmer. He has created software for magicians to track customers and shows, and software for writers based on K.M. Weiland’s workbook, Outlining Your Novel.
As if that’s not enough, Bob is now writing a five book
thriller series, Chrysalis Chronology. The series is about genetically-altered
humans with special powers. The first two books – The Smart Kid and The Time
Leaper – are currently available, with others to follow.

HELP US GROW
If you enjoy our interviews or have benefited from them, we invite you to help us continue our work. It takes a great deal of time and money to produce Books and Brews. We’ve been doing interviews since January 2017 as a free service to authors. We continue to promote those authors on our social media for years after their interviews.
- Subscribing, following, liking, commenting and sharing all help us to keep doing what we do.
- A $5 tip helps us pay for our many expenses: Libsyn hosting, web hosting, Google meets, providing the drinks for the interview and the many hours of preparation and editing that go into each episode.
