Who is G. Wayne Miller?

G. Wayne Miller is an American writer and filmmaker from a suburb of Boston. He graduated cum laude from Harvard in 1976 and became a reporter at The Transcript, a small daily newspaper in North Adams, Massachusetts. Then he took a staff writer position at the larger Cape Cod Times in Hyannis, and subsequently worked at The Providence Journal. In 1988, he sold his first book, a novel, Thunder Rise, to William Morrow.

'Toy Wars', released in 1998, opened Miller's readers to the previously closed doors exposing the inner workings of toy manufacturing giants and Fortune 500 companies Mattel and Hasbro. The popularity and success of 'Toy Wars' would later lead to the opportunity to write 'Men and Speed' in 2002.

In 2000 he published King of Hearts, an account of the men who created open-heart surgery focusing on Dr. C. Walton Lillehei. In 2002 Miller released 'Men and Speed: A Wild Ride Through NASCAR's Breakout Season,' the result of Miller being granted unprecedented access to Roush Racing during the 2001 season.

Miller's next book was The Xeno Chronicles: Two Years on the Frontier of Medicine Inside Harvard's Transplant Research Lab. His eighth book, 'An Uncommon Man: The Life and Times of Senator Claiborne Pell,' about the six-term Rhode Island senator best remembered for creating the Pell Grants educational loan program, was published in October 2011. In November 2013, Simon & Schuster published `Top Brain, Bottom Brain: Surprising Insights Into How You Think,’ coauthored with neuroscientist and psychologist Stephen M. Kosslyn.
