<strong>Lee</strong> Miller<br />
<strong>Lee</strong> Miller is a nom de plume I have on file with the United States Copyright Office, which began with the writings I registered there<br />
in the 1982. I have since, additionally, used this name for email <strong>and</strong> internet communications. This name simply consists of my<br />
middle name <strong>and</strong> half of my last name. It is quicker to write <strong>and</strong> easier to spell. The ‘Collected Writings’ came from a part of me that<br />
is more inspired than cerebral writing. I more or less recorded these writings as they flowed though my thoughts, as I lived them.<br />
