RC has done many things, including serving in the U.S. Navy. He has a Bachelor’s Degree from Bentley University in Accounting. And he found he had a knack for training pups in Basic Manners and Show Behaviors, along with midwifing show pup litters.
When he joined the Rebel Squadrons in 1996, he found that the in-mission briefings that could be written to go along with the missions he was creating for Grey Squadron were far too limited to tell the story he wanted to tell to tie the space flight combat simulation game missions together into a coherent Tour of Duty. It was here that he found a love for storytelling. The RS members who survived Grey's 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, 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. LOL!!

In the prologue of “The Horseless Horseman: Jude” we are introduced to a character who is so grotesque that we cannot believe a story can be written about him. Since it is only the prologue, we read on. In time we forget about the prologue and are wrapped up in a tale that introduces the use of robots and the men who make them work to a tragic disaster, a tsunami, a real event in Japan that took place in recent memory and the potential meltdown of a nuclear reactor in that devastated country. In the backdrop of the horror of a natural disaster, which leads to the horror of an industrial accident, which leads to the death of a good man, we are introduced to the horror that we instantly feared from the prologue. Jude is created. However, although Jude is hideous and should be fearsome, he is not. What is he? The story R.C. Miller has skillfully crafted reveals the good and evil of the creature that becomes known as Jude.
Do not pick up this book thinking that you will take your time reading it. It is so engaging that you will not be able to put it down. R. C. Miller creates in Jude a character you will never forget. There is good and bad in this potential super hero, who is less a hero and more a victim, a human who has very little in common with most humans. What he does have is a soul and a mission. Although it is a bit dark, I recommend it to anyone who has the stomach for a good tale.
