R. J. Machado De Quevedo
R. J. Machado De Quevedo, author of The Deceiver Saga, lives in Northern California. Having grown up with meager resources, R. J. learned early on that joy can be found in the simple things and that imagination is a wonderful escape. R. J. is also a speaker, blogger, and musician. She enjoys kick boxing, riding motorcycles, shooting guns, and collaborating with intelligent minds.
On December 21st 2009, R. J. had a vivid dream. When she awoke, she was so overcome by the message and the nearly tangible imagery of that dream, she knew she must write about it. She felt she was meant to. The name, The Deceiver, came to her and with it, a flood of ideas, images, and complex characters. The story demanded to be told, but not just in one book. In many!
R. J. starting writing her first novel, The Deceiver, in March 2010. And as she wrote, she discovered what she originally conceived to be four books, had evolved and expanded in her mind to a possible 7 or more!
Shortly after finishing the first book, R. J. was offered a traditional publishing contract and proceeded to publish the first three books in The Deceiver Saga through Tate Publishing & Enterprises LLC between 2013 and early 2017. After the closure of the publisher in January 2017, R. J. set out to republish her own books and continues to work on completing The Deceiver Saga. Her own story continues to unfold into an adventure of a lifetime. Let the real story begin!

The Deceiver:
In this supernatural mystery thriller, The Deceiver, college student Melanie Bishop finds herself stranded across the globe and thrust into the middle of an otherworldly battle that’s been raging since the dawn of time. Melanie makes a decision that will change her life forever. But choosing to accept her role and her destiny doesn’t mean the battles are over. It means the war has just begun.
After returning home, demonic sergeants seek to unravel Melanie’s life by bombarding her with psychological and physical attacks. The enemy is desperate to stop Melanie from fulfilling her destiny and impede her ongoing mission of protecting a mysterious artifact. Not only must Melanie endure their attacks, but she is forced to confront her anguishing past through vivid flashbacks. She must resist the advances of a master seducer. She struggles with her long-denied feelings for a handsome, kindhearted coworker.
Melanie must rely on her faith, angelic warriors, and the wisdom of her fiercely loyal friend Elisabeth to help get her through. Feeling inadequate and humbled, Melanie attempts to piece together her full purpose in this call of destiny and embrace the demands it comes with. Her success is as imperative to the fate of humankind as it is to her own. Her journey has only just begun.
