Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I am a recently published author, finally taking my lifelong hobby of writing to the next level. Publishing a novel has been one of my goals for almost 40 years, and this marks a milestone in my life. I want to offer a good story that lets the reader have a temporary escape to be entertained, letting them see the "movie" in their minds as I did when writing.

Scourge is the first of a planned series, and I have various other fiction projects in the works.

I was a finalist in the Sante Fe Writer’s Project annual contest for one of my short stories, which is also set to become a full-length novel. In 2023, SCOURGE won the First Place CLC Book Excellence Award in the "Paranormal and Urban Fantasy" category at ChickLitCafe. It is also receiving high praise online.

I live in West Texas with my wife and herd of furry, four footed children.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Exhilarating Ride
    Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2024

    I’ll start out by saying that this is not my typical genre…but I loved it anyway.

    I was immediately pulled in by the fast-paced plot and relatable characters. I found myself picking up the book even if I only had a few minutes to spare because I simply couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. Each chapter is broken up into smaller sections allowing me to keep telling myself “just one more part.”

    NYC plays a gritty backdrop to a rather terrifying group of vampires that plague the citizens, especially the most desperate of populations. The story-telling is raw, character driven and exceptionally detailed. It read like a movie and with its Batman-esque vibes, I could actually see this story as a potential DC or Marvel pick-up.

    Unique and creative, this novel is not one I will soon forget and I eagerly anticipate reading the second book!

    An extremely well written, action packed book that maintains its believability.
    The characters had depth and the story had twists and turns. I truly appreciate villains who are ruthless and heroes who are realistic.
    The attention to detail in this book is an absolute delight. I highly recommend this fun ride and can't wait to read the next!

    I really enjoyed this novel. The author did a good job of developing multiple layers of mystery so that when one is resolved another awaits. I am curious to see where the story goes from here.

    I wholeheartedly recommend Scourge to readers that enjoy this genre. The plot is well-constructed, intricate and drives the book forward to the end. The two main characters are well developed and hold true. The two main adversaries are more moderately fleshed out, and the minor characters are realistic and understandable. The settings are very well described, helping the reader to “be there” while the action is occurring. The editing is top-notch with very few errors. I was fully engaged and enjoyed the plot twists and turns.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent, Thorough Urban Fantasy
    Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2025
    Scourge by Rodney McWilliams follows two detectives as they investigate gruesome murders in New York City. These are not ordinary murders, spurred by crime or passion. They seem almost ritualistic, and there is more to them than can be understood by the human mind.

    This book is written in the third person omniscient with a focus on Detectives Angela Benson and Joe Anderson. Joe is a kind-hearted man who has lost a great deal in life. Police work has become his way of giving his life meaning when he thought he had nothing left.

    Against the wishes of her father, Angela answered the call to police work. She felt drawn to a career where she could maximize her impact on the immediate world around her. She is strong and determined, despite the strain it has put on her relationship with her parents.

    Though Angela is a new partner to Joe, he becomes a mentor to her—a father figure. I enjoyed watching them bond. Not only did they support each other as partners but protected each other as friends.

    McWilliams focuses on these two detectives, but the book offers us a view into every aspect of the murders. We get scenes of the medical examiners looking over the bodies. We get detailed accounts of victims before they meet their end. And McWilliams spares no detail to create an immersive story. The amount of research that went into every facet must have been vast. From police procedures to layouts of the business district of NY, McWilliams ensures the reader is right there with the characters experiencing every smell, the materials of which things are made, and precise descriptions of each area.

    Not only are Angela and Joe’s backstories explained throughout, we get a lot of information on everyone we meet. I think I found Thomas’s story to be one of the saddest. Each character is unique and diverse and reacts to things differently depending on their station in life. McWilliam’s characters are another well-thought-out facet delivered to the reader in King style with a full backstory, allowing us to imagine each scene in as much detail as possible.

    As we get deeper into the investigations of these murders, we also get scenes from the killers themselves although McWilliams does not offer us all the information at once. As we get little snippets, we start to realize that the killings are more than person-on-person violence and the entire balance of good and evil is at risk.

    Once you discover who the killers are, there are still secrets to be unveiled and the story becomes a wild race to the end. A well-written story that kept me on my toes until the very end, Scourge will keep you up late at night scrounging for more answers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent blend of detective fiction and fantasy
    Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024
    Rodney McWilliams, through this first novel Scourge, weaves fantasy into detective fiction in a way that amplifies the anticipation of each chapter. He is able to capture real personalities and imbue his characters with them, adding a great deal of substance to this book. I thoroughly enjoyed the plot, along with the twists, turns, and sudden developments, making this book an incredibly fun read. Further than that, I became invested and cannot wait to read the sequel to find out how more of this story unfolds. I applaud Rodney McWilliams on his first novel and look forward to following his works.

    I was excited to read a book from an author I personally knew.
    I was amazed and excited on the roller coaster ride that the story was. I laughed and I cried and binge read until I could see straight.
    The balance of good and evil was laid out well and the details just kept coming. He gave a great starting history and quickly moved to present day where everything was occurring. I can't wait to see what will happen to the characters in the next book and who will come back and the new players that will appear.

    Scourge,

    This is one of the hardest reviews I’ve ever had to write, after finishing the book, I’m just in stunned silence and shocked by this unknown masterpiece that has just been a privilege to read and review

    It’s a mysterious phenomenon, a mystical masterpiece that has more shocks, chills and thrills, you’re have your emotions shredded as you react to characters changing, it’s a case of magical, mayhem, chaos and death, such a detailed storyline, character development and world-building are exceptional and the way it starts so dramatic makes it feel like it’s you who is involved.

    It’s definitely a top tier novel, and exceeds the 5-stars for the breakdown, writing is just exceptional, the story telling is beyond description and so easy to read, the story style flows perfectly, and it’s also very much something I would recommend to anyone, especially if it was made into something like a tv series or movie.

    You’re going to have to read it, to experience the story of chills and thrills, and will end up sitting on the edge of your seat, as you everything unfold, it’s is one of the most remarkable books from a first time novelist, I’ve ever had the opportunity to read their entire life’s work.

    It’s a true masterpiece and testament to Rodney McWilliams, I look forward to Book 2, Demons.
