ⓘ About R.E. McDermott

R.E. McDermott is a sometime expatriate, former entrepreneur, an ex-merchant seaman, and always an inveterate storyteller. RE had always loved writing but he found himself involved in international work and travel which left very little time to engage in his passion. Nonetheless, he has said that in the course of his work and travels he has had the fortune of making new friends, acquaintances, and all manner of people that he reworks and fleshes out to make the characters in his popular novels. Often compared to Tom Clancy, he is known for writing gritty, meticulously researched stories with unmatched realism. He usually tries to make his lead characters into fallible humans. They are not your ordinary superheroes who can do anything and everything but rather everyday people.
