Harland Miller is a writer and artist. Born in Yorkshire, England in 1964, he studied at Chelsea School of Art, graduating in 1988 with an MA.
Miller published his first novel Slow Down Arthur, Stick to Thirty, published by Fourth Estate, to critical acclaim in 2000.[1][2] In the same year he published a novella titled At First I was Afraid, I was Petrified. Published by Book Works, the novella is a study of obsessive compulsive disorder.
