Rick Tabor has been a passionate reader since the third grade, when he inhaled the action-adventure science fiction Tom Swift series during a sweltering summer in Bartlett, Texas. After an accomplished career as a polymer scientist—with 22 published scientific articles, two book chapters, and 85 patent publications to his name—he now acts as a consultant, solving polymer science and chemistry problems for his clients.

Rick’s debut novel CHILDREN OF THE SCROLL, asks the question: “What if you could bring a loved one back to life using an ancient religious artifact?” But the question inside the question is: “Can you survive the consequences?” Readers say – “Genius.” – CS. “I couldn’t put it down.” – RB. “The best ending I’ve read in a very long time” – WR. “A very captivating read.” – JZ. “This would make a great action movie!” – BF.
