Byron Starr
  What's this?
Bio: In late 1991, Byron dropped out of college to return home and follow in his grandfather and father?s footsteps and become a funeral director. In 1992 he attended the Dallas Institute of Funeral Service and the following year he served his funeral directing and embalming apprenticeship under his father. In 1993 he married Shelly Rolfe. It wasn?t until the autumn of 1999 that his reading hobby branched into a writing hobby. In the span of one year, Byron penned two novels from start to finish and completed the rough draft of yet another. Curious as to whether or not his work was publishable, he contacted a professor at a neighboring college to read his first book. The professor received the book that night and called early the next morning to say she hadn?t been able to put the book down and had devoured it in one night; ?Get an agent? she said. Alas, it was not to be. Byron?s first contact proved to be a scam agent and the naïve country boy spent the next two years wasting time and money on this charlatan. It wasn?t until January of 2002 that he first tried his wings. Now a little wiser, he is focusing on writing short stories and biding his time with his novels.
