Rick DeStefanis lives in northern Mississippi with his wife, Janet, five cats and a male yellow lab named Blondie. Although many of his novels cross genre lines that include military fiction, southern fiction and more, he utilizes his military expertise to produce the Vietnam War Series. Melody Hill (Book #1) is the prequel to his award-winning novel The Gomorrah Principle, both of which draw from his experiences as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division from 1970 to 1972.
