edit data

Hello, I’m Miles. I live in Devon with my wife, children, and cats. I’ve sold houses, fought fires, and even played the part of a postman in a German film. (Yes, really.)

On the words front, I’ve contributed features, reviews, and interviews to the likes of Total Film, SFX, XBox World, SciFiNow, Horrorville, plus loads more. I’ve also written copy on subjects such as holiday insurance, food packaging, and, er, pig farming.

I also play bass guitar (references available).

Now I’ve written a novel. My comedy time travel caper Dad to the Future was first published in 2024. It’s the first in a series revolving around the time-travelling Bill Lambert and his friends, the Harpman family.

Hope you like them.

A joyous and dedicated tooth comb crawl through metal’s extreme side. Mudrian’s devotion to excavating the scene’s progenitors, winners, and losers is a fascinating snapshot of the music business in a microcosm. Some of the anecdotes can admittedly g ...more

Miles Hamer rated a book it was ok Disappearance at Devil's Rock by Paul Tremblay (Goodreads Author)	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
