RC has a Bachelor’s Degree from Bentley University in Accounting. And he spent seven years out of the first thirteen in the twenty first century unemployed due to the combination of the economy, bad luck, and just plain old poor judgment, during which he found he also had a knack for training pups in Basic Manners and Show Behaviors, along with midwifing show pup litters and writing sentences that are far too long.
He joined the Rebel Squadrons in 1996, and it was here that he found a love for storytelling. RC’s reputation for story telling was so well known throughout the RS that the club’s twelve person squadron limit was waived, and Grey Squadron had over sixty people join in the first two weeks of Grey’s Tour 5, which was based in the second space combat flight simulation game in the sequence. The RS members who survived Tour 5 felt that the T5 fiction, which ended up over 600 pages long, was far better than most of the related fiction available commercially.
RC feels that a ‘Great Author’ is someone who can reach out of the story, grab your heart, and make you feel anything they want you to feel, to the extent that they want you to feel it, and the only choice you have is to close the book. However …that same author can also reach out from that same closed book and make you open it back up again. …that being said …RC has aspirations of Literary Grandeur.

I usually do not read sequels of books unless I have read the first book in the series, but the cover and description of The Horseless Horsemen: Rita (Volume 2) by R.C. Miller convinced me to read the book. The story begins with a killing, or rather, two killings. We then move on to follow the life of Lucy, who is the mother of Rita. We see how bad a childhood Rita had and how she ended up living in an orphanage to becoming a successful officer. It's more dramatic than it sounds.
The main story of the book, however, is what Rita experiences when something goes horribly wrong during a call-out. She has to learn that the line between the dead and the living isn't as clear cut as people might wish and that souls do indeed exist.
R.C. Miller's writing is fantastic when he goes into details. He writes in a very engaging way and you feel drawn into the story. He could have written a lot more, put more depth into the various events, and the book would still have been a great read. Yes, it should have been longer.
The Horseless Horsemen is a book I would recommend to people who like horror and fantasy, but do not want the horror to be too gory. It's a good, entertaining read that doesn't scare you too much, unless you have a very faint heart.
