Sellars’ stories will range from being
left behind during a hurricane to being inundated at a bookstore by fans
cosplaying the antagonist from one of his novels, and everything in between.
A 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, 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 the 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 in 2015.
Sellars currently
resides in the Midwest with his wife, daughter, and a houseful of rescued
animals – a population that currently stands at one canine (Vicki the Wonder
Dog) and three felines (Asphalt, Nachos el Tigre, and Mac the Klaw). He often
describes the fluctuating menagerie as “the competition.” At home,
when not writing or taking care of the household, 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. http://www.mrsellars.com
