About the author

As an author, there are two very different Thomas Kent Millers.

(1) One is firmly planted in the 1870s through the 1930s. This is made manifest by my interest in Victorian and Edwardian ghost stories, in the Hudson River School of landscape painting, in my two favorite authors, H. Rider Haggard and Arthur Machen, and in my love of Sherlock Holmes. This has resulted in my writing three Sherlock Holmes/H. Rider Haggard pastiche novels that are now being re-published by MX Publishers of the UK under the series title “HOLMES BEHIND THE VEIL”

(2) The other aspect of my personality resides squarely on the planet Mars as imagined by the science fiction cinema of the 1950s and 60s— from which fascination has sprung MARS IN THE MOVIES: A HISTORY, the world’s first book to focus solely on Mars movies. It falls squarely in with other books that focus on one sub-genre of film, such as these books with the titles THE DINOSAUR FILMOGRAPHY, JULES VERNE ON FILM, THE SPACESUIT FILM, and SPAGHETTI WESTERNS.
