Most of you know I am a bookaholic. A greedy guzzler of books, both fiction and non-fiction and across most genres. Here in the blogosphere I have found plenty of other readers, and also writers to tempt my weak-willed self. R. Mac Wheeler is one of those writers.
He is a prolific and varied writer and has just released his 28th publication. I really don't know how he does anything else but he does. He tells me that Timmy needs new crutches and he really needs to sell some books.
The 28th book in question is Book 3 of the 6 Ways Series I have read them all, and realised how much I had invested in that reading when I found myself arguing with him about Mar, the protagonist for the series. Not about the way he had written her - but who she was. It really is a bit embarrassing when you argue with an author about their creation.
And I still insist that he is wrong. She isn't even a border-line sociopath. She cares for way too many people. She is difficult, and she is certainly damaged by her up-bringing and her experiences but a sociopath or a psychopath (and he has described her as both) she is not.
So, without further ado, here is the blurb about the helter-skelter rides which make up this series. I hope that some of you will visit him, will read one (or more) of his books - and would be interested to know whether you agree with me, or with him.
Book 3 of the 6 Ways Series
At
eighteen it’s tough to decide a life path when the threat of pandemic
hangs over the world, your brother is the genius who engineered the
plague, and you’re repeatedly drawn into the fight against the
terrorists spreading it. Plenty of people would kill an Abernathy on
sight so it would be wise for Mar to visit the dojo, otherwise play
invisible, but her brother is manipulating her into another adventure.If you haven't read Book 1 or 2, and like to start at the beginning...
BOOK 1
Alcoholic
parents treated Margarite as an unwelcome stranger, then left her at
fourteen with her thirty year old autistic brother. At sixteen, things
really sour, thanks to her brother. A medical researcher, Reggie
engineers the ultimate plague. Fanatics seek to control him. The
government pursues them as terrorists. Margarite witnesses ruthlessness,
compassion, and competence she couldn't imagine from her brother, but
the world needs a miracle. The best she and Reggie can do is wing it.BOOK 2
Nightmares.
Panic attacks. Depression. Margarite is hammered by the typical issues
of a seventeen year old loner, whose parents sympathized with insane
people intending to collapse civilization. The few who care about Mar
have more concerns. Her drinking. Fighting. Jumping out of airplanes.
Her
brother engineered the plague that’s breaking out across the globe and
she holds a little guilt for not stopping it. Or being one of the first
to die. Still, conspirators behind what they call The Correction are not
done with her.
The Author
R. Mac Wheeler writes about
characters with a lot of baggage, men who make many men look like wimps, tough
chicks that can whip most men...puts them in situations that push them to the
edge...in worlds that don’t overly stretch the imagination.
A former IT
professional, he now focuses full time on suspense, paranormal, science fiction, and fantasy that leverages the quirkiness and baggage of
real life more often than the far fetched.
