My name is Rick Murcer and I write thrillers and police procedural books for your entertainment. I'm a NY Times best seller and USA Top 10 seller. Glad you're here!
We're back in Michigan after giving Florida a try. It was far too difficult not being near our children and grandkids so we came back. Doesn't mean we won't winter there a bit, however.
I graduated from Michigan State University. I've been married longer than my wife likes to admit, and have two grown children, Josh , married to Sarah, and Elizabeth married to CJ, and five beautiful grandchildren. Molly, Charlie, Josie, Lily, and newly born Peter!
I lost my blind black Lab, Max, about seven years ago. He a was great friend who also served as my "writing" dog. He pushed me hard to get to the writing room each morning so he could snore on his rug while I did all the work. I still miss him but we added Braxton and Beaux six and one-half years ago, a chocolate lab and boxer/beagle mix who we rescued, and they're getting it, sort of. Not bad for two Big Dogs.
I'm an older writer. I started about fifteen years ago and got the first story I wrote, Herb's Home Run, published in Writer's Journal. I've been hooked since then.
I lost my real job 12 years ago and after 600 resumes with no luck, decided I was going to make it as a writer, and here I am. Caribbean Moon was a labor of love, and writing it taught me more about myself than I cared to know. (My wife thinks I should keep my mind a secret!)But it also taught me to expect more of myself and I do.
I finished the second book in this series, Deceitful Moon, a couple of months later and have completed eight in the series, Emerald Moon, Caribbean Rain, Carolina Rain, Vegas Rain, Caribbean Fire, and Miami Fire, released in March of 2015, plus six short stories, another first in a series, Drop Dead Perfect, and an epic Fantasy called Seer, also released in April of 2015. In December of 2015 I released a short story of Manny and Sophie's first case, called The First One. The ninth book in the series, Cajun Fire will be released in April of 2016 and then we're on to Perfect Sinners, the second Ellen Harper psych-thriller.
We've also finished our first Christian Thriller, Between Skies. It's not a typical Christian thriller where folks seem to be perfect. Quite the opposite, in fact. It was a great time writing this one If you read it, I hope you see what God is trying to do in our lives, at least from my perspective!
I've not made it yet to where I believe God is taking us, but we're on that road, and I want to be a living example that with hard work and God's blessing, you can do anything. I want to encourage you to go for that special thing you've been dying to try...one never knows! be involved beyond reading your blog. Do you keep an active social media account?
