Join Toby Trelauney-Fitzgibboncrest, his gentleman's gentleman, Marvin 'Ox' Oxnard, Sergeant J.P. Clyde and Lieutenant Colonel 'Jackrabbit' Schultzberger as they suffer through the ill-fated ventures of Lieutenant Arthur Bowles as he inflicts himself on the Canadian Army of the 1960s. Toby, mistakenly listed as AWOL from the British Army, is an English Earl with an ex-Staff Sergeant turned manservant. They meet Lieutenant Arthur Bowles, a bazooka-carrying idiot, at the MacCammon Recruit Depot at Camp Gagetown, New Brunswick. Joining them in their misadventures is a bungling crew of British officers who fly to Canada in order to kidnap the innocent Earl and return him to England. Throw in an improbable way to prepare poached eggs, a women's basketball team, a Bowles-destroyed bridge, an ambush gone sideways, a self-chloroformed Major, a head-on collision with a combine harvester and you have the ingredients for an hilarious military farce. Greatcoats On! Greatcoats Off! is a riotous tale of incompetence triumphing over common sense!

Jim Miller develops a fictional narrative to pass along what he has learned about art and creativity. He has done art for more than 50 years and taught art on the college level. There is a unique twist here. Some of the information about art and the doing of it comes from 'the other side'. The author has studied material channeled by a medium relating to art. This combined with much that he has learned by study and experience is woven into the fabric of a narrative that will allow you to forget you are learning.

Work Hard for Your Dog in the Fight is a critique of politics, society, American voters, and the two-party system. Author, father, paramedic, and one-time Tea Party candidate Jim Miller may perhaps identify himself as a failure at everything that mainstream society has to offer, but he has composed a unique and thoughtful analysis of American culture that leaves far more popular authors thinking "I wish I'd said that". Work Hard for Your Dog defies categorization. It is a memoir, an essay on racism and a treatise on the republican form of government. Miller presents for your consumption a world-class collection of original satire, prose, a truly unique perspective on the American experience, and a solid introduction to the political arena that is invaluable to anyone considering a career in public office. Each reader will find things to both love and hate about Miller's rendition of eastern North Carolina. No matter whether he is reliving 4-H camp during a hurricane or satirizing the Obama Administration to the score of Gilbert & Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore Miller is a consummate writer who never leaves the reader without something to contemplate. But what is perhaps Miller's greatest contribution to the literary world is his ability to be someone who is just like you even though you never know what he is going to say next. For example, while any (failed) politician can write a memoir, only Miller donates 100% of the after-tax proceeds from Work Hard for Your Dog in the Fight to his favorite charity.
