Hello Seditt:

I suppose none of the below legitimizes Thomas Kent Miller, but it is worth mentioning for the record.

Ligament articles: I fear I don't know the term "Ligament articles".

Awards: TKM has been the recipient of no awards.

Major publication articles: Publishers Weekly in 2005 published a short review of his second novel. See http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-8095-0049-9. In 1988 Kirkus Reviews reviewed Baby James: A Legacy of Love and Family Courage written by TKM and his wife about their amazing life with their first son, who was the first toddler to receive a heart transplant and who subsequently passed away. See https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/thomas-jayne-miller-miller/baby-james-a-legacy-of-love-and-family-courage. The book was also reviewed in the San Francisco Chronicle, The Riverside Press Enterprise, and some other newspapers at the time.

Legitimate news articles: Back in 1986, TKM and his wife were mentioned in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and other major publications in news articles referencing aspects of the heart transplant received by their toddler son, Nicholas, but who was known in the press as Baby James in order to keep his and their anonymity, as it was newsworthy at the time. See for example http://articles.latimes.com/1986-04-27/local/me-24034_1_new-heart, http://www.nytimes.com/1986/09/02/us/baby-who-got-heart-implant-dies-as-his-body-rejects-it.html.

In 2005, The San Bernardino Sun and The Redlands Daily Facts, owned now by The MediaNews Group, published an interview with TKM re: his second novel. See https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-10969900.html.

In 2014, the same MediaNews Group published an interview with TKM's wife that mentions TKM. See http://www.redlandsdailyfacts.com/health/20140318/why-i-came-to-redlands-millers-son-was-heart-transplant-recipient-baby-james.

Mars in the Movies : A History: The publishers McFarland and Company believe the book will receive nice reviews and sell well, but not until about four or five months after the book has been published, which was November 2016. The fact remains, though, that it is the first of its kind.
