Rick is an IT systems administrator and military veteran. A self-proclaimed "creative tinker", after years of technical writing he decided to try his hand at fiction.

Song of the Banshee is his first novel. He's also written several unpublished short stories.

When he's not writing, you can find him in his workshop, barbecuing on the patio, or walking the trails in the nearby provincial park.

Rick lives in the Ottawa Valley in Ontario, Canada with his wife and his tool collection.
