Author: The Book Spy
The nickname, The Rappologist, doesn’t begin to adequately describe Ryan Steck, Sr. While it encompasses his knowledge of Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp, and the universe in which the extraordinary Rapp resides, it does not capture his knowledge of Brad Thor’s Scot Harvath, Ted Bell’s Alex Hawke, Joshua Hood’s Mason Kane … the list goes on and on! But, it was the beginning of Steck’s ongoing journey through the thriller genre.
Steck leaves no stone unturned when it comes to fictional worlds. Not only does he write reviews, and primers for readers, his insight makes him a great “beta reader.” This knowledge and enthusiasm for reading and sharing his thoughts with others has gained him a loyal, equally enthusiastic, band of followers on social media, and has also captured the attention of writers and publishers.
Steck has written reviews for Off the Shelf, conducted interviews with authors such as Kyle Mills (The Survivor) for The Life Sentence, and helps new authors with feedback and truly constructive criticism.
The father of five, Steck somehow manages to read, write reviews and primers, as well as parent his children and be a husband to his wife, Melissa.
