J. K. Miller II was born in Mountain View, CA. As a military brat he has traveled and lived in various countries including the Netherlands, France, Germany, England, Tunisia, and Italy. He first took an interest in writing in his journals at the age of ten.
Throughout his childhood, J. K. Miller II took a particular interest in fiction because the genre allowed his mind to wander to undetermined heights. The very first series he read (partially, as there are so many books in the series) was The Boxcar Children. His favorite authors include Terry Goodkind, Crista McHugh, Gertrude Chandler Warner, and James Patterson.
His favorite genre to write is fantasy, though he does enjoy mystery and general fiction. He is also a poet, songwriter, and enjoys singing. J. K. Miller II is a 49ers fanatic.
