Encapsulate the reader’s mind

by ssecor on April 8, 2010

What we all seek when we pick up a book is a form of escape from our everyday lives. At first glance these written words that we have before us are two dimensional. As authors and writers, you want to capture your audience’s full undivided attention and immerse them into the three dimensional world that your book portrays. Think about it, you are creating a world inside your book that is both believable and inviting!

Describe, Create and Captivate!

RM Secor

by rm secor on February 21, 2010

Born in Rochester, NY.  RM Secor has had a passion for writing since he was 5 years old.  Moving around a lot as a child has given him a overwhelming abundance of characters and knowledge.  Moving away as a small child from New York to Texas was a big thing for a small boy, along with his older brother, Scott.  But as kids they just adapted to where ever they went.  Eventually moving to Oklahoma, then to Colorado, and then onto Tennessee.  From there his parents moved back up to Rochester, NY
 
       After completing High School, RM Secor signed up with the military.  Completed boot camp from Fort Leonard Wood, MI, (also known as Fort lost in the woods),  There is nothing in life more determined to make you grow up fast other then a Drill Sergeant in your face.  To this day the teachings he received from them has outlined his daily life.  9 weeks of Hell, and it was off to AIT school.  From there RM Secor has performed a few different roles in the military from being an ammo specialist, to refueling helicopters, and ending up flying the machines.  He has taken writing courses to help aid him in his journey as an author from McGraw Hill and has a BS Degree in Computer Science.
 
       All this time up to now has carved his image of who he is today.  He is the proud father of a 15 year old boy, Cley Jonathan Secor, who is active in soccer.  Hoping one day that he follows in his footsteps.  This series of stories began with “The Death of an Agent“, and after public demand “Multiple Danger” is out, and in stores.  In the works is “High Grounds“, the third book in this espionage/terrorism thriller series.
