R.C. Ferris writes fiction from the shadows — stories where loyalty has a price, silence has weight, and the past never stays buried.
A veteran, builder, and lifelong student of human complexity, Ferris crafts noir-inspired narratives steeped in moral ambiguity and legacy. His characters are often scarred by war, haunted by memory, and caught in systems designed to forget them.
His debut novel, Inheritance, is the first in a growing catalog of gritty, literary crime fiction — with projects ranging from metaphysical thrillers to dystopian science fiction.
When he’s not writing, R.C. Ferris can be found restoring what others leave behind: old homes, dusty books, and hard truths. He lives in Michigan with his family, a cluttered desk, and the occasional whisper from a character who refuses to stay silent.
