About the Author

Before meeting his wife, all John Paul Miller knew about horses was what he had seen on T.V., but for the past 20+ years, he has spent countless hours in riding lessons, in the saddle on trails, and in the bleachers at horse shows and rodeos. John Paul has listened to the life stories of trainers, veterinarians, jockeys, exercise riders, and thoroughbred owners-all of which sparked his imagination and inspired him to write False Riches.John Paul currently lives on a farm in Lexington, KY with his wife, four horses, and two dogs.
