Richard is the author of eight novels, three novellas, and a collection of short stories. His most recent works are A Call To Arms, book four in his post-apocalyptic coming of age series, This Lawless Land, and Not Of Us, a WWII creature feature published by Severed Press. During his life he has played a series of roles, husband, father, son, and lover, but his favorite by far is grandfather. He and his wife of twenty plus years have raised four children and helped raise eight grandchildren. They provide a secure home to a yellow lab named Max. His wife, Dena, has experienced firsthand the exasperation of living with a writer whose mind tends to wander at the most inappropriate times. Yet she manages to keep his feet firmly planted on the ground.
