Rick Bylina lives with his wife, Carrie, and 19-year-old cockatiel, Sydney, near Apex, North Carolina. Ongoing corporate downsizing convinced him to tap into his passion. He scribed any crazy idea that crossed his mind. After gaining discipline, he wrote his debut mystery novel, ONE PROMISE TOO MANY, the first in a series, featuring Detective Roger Stark. Up next, A MATTER OF FAITH. Writing happens spontaneously between housework, gardening, cooking, and wrestling alligators.
