ABOUT THE AUTHOR

At the age of 17, Richard joined the USMC seeking adventure and world travel.  This was inspired by his idol Ernest Hemingway and the similar adventures he’d had many years beforehand. 

After serving in The Marines for several years, Richard received an honorable discharge and then moved to Hollywood where he played lead guitar in various hard rock bands.  After leaving California, he moved back east and then overseas to live in Holland for 2 years.  

RAGING STORM is his 6th book but the first in the Ryder Dunham series.  The 2nd installment is entitled OUT IN THE COLD and the 3rd is currently in the works.

Richard has been published worldwide in Reader’s Digest, nominated for an Easter Seals Award and wrote briefly for 2 different newspapers.  He currently lives in the Tampa Bay area and is the proud father of 2 grown children.
