AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT: MARCUS MILLER

"Like the main character in my book, I also ran away from home at a very young age and was thrust into the underbelly of society where age matters not, and the only respect you receive is bought with strength and toughness. And like Steve Rawlings, I also survived against long odds, and am now able to tell some of my stories, and those of the characters I met along the way. My travels took me across the U.S. and through Central and South America and the Caribbean. I have worn many hats in his life, some of them being a cowboy, sailor, boat captain, scuba diving instructor, commercial diver, small plane pilot, gunsmith, hunting guide, rancher, horse trainer, firearms instructor, self-defense and edged weapons instructor, and adventurer.

Because I never completed high school or attended a college, my personal education was derived from working and living on the streets, back alleys, fetid jungles and dank ports in third world countries.

As you can tell, I have not experienced what might be considered a normal life. In fact, I have never known anyone whose life came even close to mirroring mine. As I traveled the world I absorbed my experiences and of those, of people I met on my journey's, and now I'm able to wrap these experiences into stories I hope will be enjoyed by my readers. I've always been a story-teller, and many over the years have encouraged me to write them down, but until I was laid up last year with a knee injury I never took the time. When I started writing, the words came easily, telling my stories as if I was in a room of eager listeners. I haven't stopped writing since. And I never want to stop....."

I have encountered a number of authors since I started blogging and they all have interesting stories on what brought them to writing. Marcus Miller is one of those authors that can captivate your attention in basic conversation. I greatly enjoy every opportunity that I have to talk to him about his craft. The man doesn't have just one story to tell. He has many and wants to share them with the world. Readers are truly honored to get to be a part of his literary adventures. I look forward to seeing where he takes us.

Description: An epic action novel of adventure and personal discovery through the eyes of a young man fleeing from a rich and powerful family. Luke Canfield is born into a ranching dynasty but is subjected to horrible abuse by his fanatically religious father. The redemption wall is the place where Luke’s father inflicts corporal punishment on him, almost daily, and Luke endures it for years until the only person left to defend and protect him, his grandmother, suddenly dies. Finding the courage to escape his persecution, he is offered a way out, but must travel alone, quickly maturing as he gains experience along the way, across the U.S. from Oregon to Florida, in an attempt to meet up with a family offering him protection on a sailing vessel in the Caribbean, but he must arrive before the family sails away. His odyssey is a tale of fear, hunger, abuse, adventure and courage through the eyes of a quickly maturing young man. Set in 1967, in a world experiencing drugs, free love, and racial tension and in a time when the words, child abuse weren’t spoken out loud.


Hello Readers.

This book practically fell into my lap. I wasn't looking for it. I wasn't trying to find it. It found me. It did not feel like I was reading a story but rather being told a story in person. From the very beginning, I was pulled into the life of the main character. He was extremely relatable and my heart went out to him. It was interesting to see how the characters evolved as the story progressed.

This book was captivating and very well written. It was so raw. So pure. It was so real at times that I was overcome with emotion. There were moments that I wanted to reach inside and hug the main character. Not many books cause those emotions in me.

I am rating this book Five Blue Books because it was devastatingly beautiful in a way that changes the reader forever. I look forward to reading future books by this author. He is definitely one to watch.
