John Ramsey Miller was born in Greenville, Mississippi on October 3, 1949. His father was a Methodist minister and his mother was a history professor. In 1972 he was working as a still photographer and graphic designer at an ABC TV network affiliate station in Mississippi when he accidentally became embroiled with Martha Mitchell and the burgeoning Watergate scandal. He was fired from his job for trying to help a friend protect Mrs. Mitchell from the press. Thanks to Helen Thomas, he conducted a filmed interview with Ms. Mitchell, which aired on The Dick Cavett Show.
He's been a photographer, advertising executive, and photojournalist. He sold a book, The Last Family, to Bantam in 1984. Since then he has published five books. In 2007 John moved to the middle of nowhere, a few miles from Gold Hill, NC, where he lives with his wife, three dogs, and more than 20 chickens.
