About Richard

Just a handful of years in the Marine Corps, and a lifelong love of reading and writing. I received a BA in English from Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah, GA, where I served as President of Sigma Tau Delta and Managing Editor of the school's literary journal, Calliope. There are a couple of handfuls of stories and articles floating out there in newspapers, journals and literary magazines with my name on them. 

I self-published my first novel, Eaten by Wolves in 2022. It was a crazy journey, and it took me some places I didn't expect to go. It's weird, gets a little dark, but offers one man's allegorical depiction of what it means to live with mental illness.

I recently finished my second novel, Black Linen and Biscuits, and I'm in the process of seeking agent representation.

Meanwhile, I live in Eastern Iowa with my loving, amazing wife and three alien kids. We rent rooms in a house owned by half-a-dozen cats.
