Moment to moment, they dread the final hours of daylight. When the towering mountain called Thunder Rise casts its shadow over the town. When childhood innocence surrenders to primal fear. When evil reaches out - and into - their minds.

In this groundbreaking contribution to the literature on human personality, a celebrated psychologist and an award-winning author offer a novel way to learn about how each of us thinks. For the past fifty years, popular culture has led us to believe in the left brain vs. right brain theory of personality types. It would be an illuminating theory if it did not have one major drawback: It is simply not supported by science. In contrast, the Top Brain, Bottom Brain theory is based on solid research that has stayed within the confines of labs all over the world - until now.

With the support of his wife, Sharon, young neurosurgeon Nick Emin has left medicine to pursue his longtime dream of architecture - and now he has just won his first big contract, to design a luxury resort from the remains of an old state psychiatric hospital that lies in the shadow of Thunder Rise. It seems his decision to quit operating was wise, after all, despite the criticism he endured when he put down the scalpel.

George Wayne Miller was born on June 12, 1954 in Melrose, Massachusetts, United States, to Roger Linwood Miller, an airplane mechanic, and Mary Maraghey Miller.
G. Wayne Miller grew up in a Boston suburb, spent eight years at St. Joseph parochial school, then went to St. John's Prep in Danvers, where hockey was his focus. He did not make it onto the varsity team, which crushed his dreams of playing for the Boston Bruins. Instead, he became more involved in his writing and realized he had been interested in it since the third grade. In 1976, Miller received a Bachelor of Arts from Harvard University.
Miller began his career at his teens, when he was co-editor of the St. John's Prep student paper and it was during that period that he developed a serious interest in short stories and allegedly humorous essays. After graduating cum laude from Harvard College in 1976 and doing the obligatory living-abroad find-yourself thing for several months, Miller worked as a baggage-smasher for Delta Airlines while freelancing, including a cover piece for The Boston Globe Magazine about the possibility of someone making an atomic bomb. Then, in 1977, he landed a job as a reporter at the North Adams Transcript, a small daily newspaper in North Adams, Massachusetts. He was surprised that he got this job because he had not taken a single journalism class in college.
Whipped into shape by a great editor, the legendary Rod Doherty, executive editor of the Dover, New Hampshire paper Foster's Daily Democrat, Miller learned the journalistic ropes and, in less than a year, took a staff writer position at the larger Cape Cod Times in Hyannis. Two and a half years later, he went to The Providence Journal, which had won several Pulitzer Prizes and had a reputation as a "writer's paper."
A reputation well-deserved, Miller discovered first-hand, especially under the guidance of his new mentor, Joel Rawson, who was metro managing editor when he arrived and was until his retirement as executive editor. Miller has been chairman of the paper's writing committee, and for many years has specialized in long-term projects and series, several of which have been the basis for books. He is a regular book reviewer for the Sunday Books section.
Miller also wrote and co-produced two independent documentary movies. The first, On The Lake: Life and Love in a Distant Place, tells the story of the late Frank Beazley's home, Zambarano State Hospital, which began as the Rhode Island State Sanatorium - and also the larger international story of TB, the number-one killer in the early 1900s and still a global threat today.
In 2011, Miller co-produced and wrote Coming Home, The Providence Journal's first feature-length documentary. It premiered online December 29, 2011, and was broadcast on Rhode Island PBS on March 26, 2012, and later dates.
In 2012, Miller became a visiting fellow at Salve Regina University's Pell Center, where he is co-founder and director of Story in the Public Square, a year-round initiative to study and celebrate public storytelling. By 2020, he had published more books, bringing the total number of titles in print to 17.
In addition to his nonfiction publishing and journalism career, Miller also founded and operates TheCambridge- Company, writing, editing, design, and publishing service that does custom work in traditional book form.

2012Miller's journalistic passion has been mental health, which he has reported on since the mid-1980s. His hope has been that in some small way, his writing and filmmaking here have helped people and worked to reduce discrimination and stigma.
Quotations:
"What I really liked to do, and it’s still my first love, is fiction."
"I like to think my forte is story-telling, tales in which interesting things happen to interesting people."
From 1997 until June 2009, when Miller moved to Warwick, Rhode Island, he was the chairman of the board of trustees of Burrillville's principal library, the Jesse Smith Memorial Library. He joined the board as a regular member in 1995. The library he ran all those early years was badly overcrowded, and so after joining the town's new library building committee began constructed in 2006 on a new $9 million library that is a comfortable and exciting place for reading, viewing, and performing. Now, he is a trustee emeritus of the Smith Library.
Hockey was an important part of Miller's life, but he also had a strong interest in biology and medicine, and he simultaneously got ever-more deeply into writing, which had interested him since about third grade.
Among Miller's community passions are libraries and donating blood.
In 1980, Miller married Alexis Magner Miller, a writer and home editor of The Providence Journal. They have three children: Rachel Bernier, Katherine Linwood, and G. Calvin.
