odney Martin II was almost born in Minnesota by 2 weeks, but he was born in Memphis, TN instead. Then, after living in Memphis for 5 years, he then moved to Mississippi where he moved 3 more times. There, he attended Mississippi State University. He almost moved to Dallas, TX, but he ended up moving to Virginia instead. While there, he underwent training for the United States Secret Service. But he didn’t let this distract him from his writing, as it has always been his passion. Despite all he went through, from injuries and brushes with death, he never allowed anything to stop him from building worlds with a pen.
In Memory of You Rodney Martin II Inspirational Anthology An interesting take on storytelling, author Rodney Martin II’s new book is an anthology of stories that make readers think they are the narrator or a character of the story. This story is not what readers expect it to be. It’s like wandering into the dark without a flashlight. But reading this story means that one chooses or wants to get away. It’s like holding the lives of others in one’s hands; not because one is playing God, but simply because. And readers will find out why, as they leaf through the pages of this book, In Memory of You.
EXCERPTS Scales I awake to the sound of rain knocking on my window in the old trolley downtown. The weather-man talked about heavy rain, and I guess he wasn’t lying. The tram moves like my grandfather after he got his walker. But riding this thing was what I had to deal with until my car got fixed. I wipe at the window and see the bus stop at a sidewalk I’m not familiar with. A man in a brown trench coat steps down the aisle. “Excuse me, is this seat taken,” he asks politely, referring to the seat in front me. “No.” I move my bag from the empty seat and sit it next to my feet. “Sorry about that.” “It’s quite alright,” he says while sitting. Now, I usually sit alone, but it was kind of boring on the tram with no one to talk to. I look at the man, who is now ensnared within a small book.
