Rhys Dylan is a Welsh author who is well-known for his crime fiction novels. In particular, he is the creator of the DCI Evan Warlow series, also known as the Black Beacons series. The Beacons refer to a mountain range located in South Wales, which serves as the backdrop for the series. This range has ancient kingdoms to the north and west, adding to the rich history and atmosphere of the novels. Rhys finds inspiration in the rugged and mysterious landscape of the Beacons, which is reflected in his writing.
Rhys currently resides in Wales with his wife and their dog. He is fortunate to live on the edge of the Black mountains, where he can immerse himself in the natural beauty and history of the area. This proximity to the Beacons allows him to draw from his surroundings and incorporate them into his writing, creating a vivid and authentic setting for his stories. Despite his success as an author, Rhys remains humble and down-to-earth, finding joy in the simple pleasures of life, such as sharing a cup of tea and some chocolate digestives with his wife.
In addition to his work as a crime fiction author, Rhys has written books for children and adults under different pen names in other genres. However, he has returned to his love of Celtic noir and dark humor with the Black Beacons Murder Mystery series. Rhys hopes that his readers will find a brief escape from the troubles of the world in his stories. He does not expect to become wealthy through his writing, but he finds satisfaction in the knowledge that his work brings enjoyment to others.
