About the author
M.R. Sellars
20 books125 followersA member of the ITW (International Thriller Writers), M. R. Sellars is a relatively unassuming homebody who, in his own words, “tells pretty lies for a living.” Although his penchant for creating fiction began at an early age, he was eventually inspired to pursue a degree in journalism, an endeavor he describes as, “a good chase, even though it got away.” His career plans re-routed, he put a secondary talent – electronics repair – into play. However, this did not deter him from writing and he soon re-focused on his first love, fiction. While he had several short stories appear in minor publications, it wasn’t until 2000 that his first full-length novel, Harm None: A Rowan Gant Investigation, hit bookstore shelves, officially launching the acclaimed paranormal thriller series and its associated spinoff.
All of the current novels in Sellars’ continuing Rowan Gant Investigations saga have spent several consecutive weeks on numerous bookstore bestseller lists as well as a consistent showing on the Amazon.com Horror/Occult top 100. In 2010 a short e-novella featuring a supporting character from the RGI cast spawned a new series, The Special Agent Constance Mandalay Novels, the first full-length book being IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER, which hit the streets November 2011. The second, INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE is slated for release 2018.
Sellars currently resides in the Midwest with his wife, daughter, and a houseful of rescued animals – a population which currently stands at one canine (Vicki the Wonder Dog) and three felines (Roxxy, Nachos el Tigre, and Mac the Klaw) – not to mention the myriad creatures inhabiting the Two-Acre Wood. He often describes the fluctuating menagerie as, “the competition.” At home, when not writing, taking care of the household, splitting firewood, or battling the insidious and invasive Asian Bush Honeysuckle, he indulges his passions for cooking and home brewing.
M. R. Sellars can be located on the web wherever there is a virtual bar serving virtual single malt Scotch, single barrel bourbon, good Irish whisky, and decent beer. In other words, look for him on the major social networking sites.

The second book in the Miranda arc. And it again ends in the middle of nowhere, so I just added the third part of this trilogy to my wishlist. Not because I thought it was so great, but to get some closure and find out how it ends. I have always had a difficult relationship with these Rowan Gant books. Good mystery, but the writing has always bugged me. I don't mind the inventive grammar of direct speech in these books. And the amount of superfluos adjectives has gone down a lot, too. But it could all do with some tightening up. I really felt like telling Sellars to get on with it in this one here. Everything is explained to the minutest detail. You could have probably put the plot down in half as many pages, if you had gotten rid of all the fluff. Or it could have done with smaller print and more plot in the first place. I don't think I will continue with it after the next one. It's just too unsatisfying in the long run.

November 23, 2012The second book of the Miranda Trilogy within the Rowan Gant Investigation series is just as good as the rest of them. I'll be starting the next after I finish this note! I very much enjoy the ongoing characters and wish to see what happens next.

What can I say....I love the Rowan Gant Investigation series. M. R. Sellars is my favorite author. This particular book is the second book of three. I have now read all three and not in much order. Loved all three.
