A member of the International Thriller Writers (ITW), and of the Horror Writers Association (HWA), M. R. Sellars is a relatively unassuming homebody who, in his own words, considers himself just a "guy with a lot of nightmares and a word processing program." Legend has it he started making up stories to entertain a stuffed bear during his single digit years, then began writing them down sometime around his early teens when the growing catalogue of fiction started causing him to experience migraines. Although he had several short stories and newspaper articles published during his early adult life, 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.
Sellars says that the biggest adjustment he has had to make with his writing career is coping with the time spent away from his family while traveling on promotional tours. Still, he approaches the necessity of public appearances with the same humorously deadpan and satirical wit that he applies to life in general, stating, "As long as I have an RC Cola and a bag of peanuts, I'm all good, Bubba."
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.
Sellars currently resides in the Midwest with his incomparably amazing wife, equally fantastic daughter, and a feline he describes as, "the competition." At home, when not writing or taking care of the household, he indulges his passions for cooking and hanging out with friends. In order to satisfy his lifelong dream of being a satirical humor columnist for a major metropolitan newspaper, twice each week he removes his glasses, dons blue tights and a red cape, then blogs about the incredibly bizarre world that is his life as a writer, husband, and father. It has been said that his blog articles sometimes blur the line between fiction and reality. To that Sellars responds, "What line?"
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.

A book for fans of the mystery genre, not just pagan mystery readers,
By Julie Bryant "An Avid Reader" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Blood Moon (Rowan Gant Investigations) (Paperback)
After three disconcerting and thought-provoking novels featuring super-baddie, Miranda, M.R. Sellars' Rowan Gant has returned to the familiar world of ordinary crime in St. Louis. Well, far from ordinary are the two bodies drained of blood with fingers of suspicion pointed towards vampirism. Rowan is again asked to lend his unwelcome gift of hearing the dead to the investigation.
Fiery wife Felicity O'Brien is along for the ride, regaining confidence after her brushes with Miranada. A welcome twist is that Felicity is now more hands-on in helping Rowan listen to the dead without becoming one of them himself. In-fighting between local, state and federal jurisdictions, "official" deception, and returning favorite Ben Storm's unusual behavior help give "Blood Moon" a feeling of traditional detective stories...with a decidedly otherworldly twist. If you're a returning reader and a fan of Miranda, never fear; it looks like that one isn't going quietly. If you're a new reader, the earlier books in the "Rowan Gant Investigations" series will give color to the characters, but they are not necessary for the enjoyment of "Blood Moon". After reading "Blood Moon", though, you'll probably buy the earlier ones, though. You've been warned.

M. R. Sellars really has a way of drawing the reader in and making them feel the emotions of each character,

This review is from: Blood Moon (Rowan Gant Investigations) (Paperback)
Blood Moon is book nine in the RGI (Rowan Gant Investigations) series. We ended the last book The End of Desire with quite a cliff hanger, and this one starts out with a twist that not even I saw coming. You got me Sellars! Dang it. lol
Rowan and Felicity are just plain worn down to emotional nubs, and need a break from all of the chaos and horror that their combined gifts bring, more so Rowan's gift though. He's back to talking to dead people again even though he quite the MCS and even tried to put a firm distance between himself and his friend detective Ben Storm. That is until bodies start turning up drained of their blood and Rowan gets a dose of the bizarre stigmata of losing his blood too. Is there some kind of vampire killing these women? Or is it another ritual cult gone very very wrong? As if this weren't enough, Miranda seems to still be causing them grief even after the killer part of her was put behind bars. Of course our favorite Bible thumping official makes an appearance, and this time the show is on the other foot. Lets just say while I felt for her situation, I took a not so secret glee in this character "needing" Rowan's talents. This is a really long series, but I look forward to more books in it. M. R. Sellars really has a way of drawing the reader in and making them feel the emotions of each character without you realizing it. This is the hallmark of a great writer and true literary talent. While I enjoyed the Miranda trilogy, I was glad to move into some new, or not so new territory in Blood Moon. Reviewed at Bitten by Books Paranormal Fiction Review Site by Rachel

This review is from: Blood Moon (Rowan Gant Investigations) (Paperback)
Once again M.R.Sellars has not disappointed. His Rowan Gant series has captivated me. With all the problems Rowan and Felicity have experienced there seems to be no end for them. It kept me on the edge of my seat reading well into the night. Within a day and a night I completed the latest of his writings and now am eagerly awaiting Miranda. He is a pleasure to read and knows exactly how to phrase it.~
