Growing up in London in the 1960s, Richard studied, experimented with sex, drugs & rock ‘n roll, and grew his hair. By the mid-1970s he had a degree in philosophy and creative writing, his hair had reached its zenith, and he was playing keyboards in jazz, rock, and soul bands.
For the next thirty years, he composed music for TV and radio, working at the BBC’s renowned Radiophonic Workshop, before going freelance. While at the BBC, he won two Sony Awards for ‘the Most Creative Use of Radio’.
In 2007 he downshifted to Tenerife to focus on writing. His first two books were co-authored with his wife: NOBODY’S POODLE (2013), a short novel written from the perspective of their rescue dog, and SOMEBODY’S DOODLE (2016), a canine cozy mystery.
NOBODY’S POODLE was included in the Guardian’s Top 50 Readers’ Recommended Self-published Authors, as well as being listed in the Top 50 Indie Authorland list. SOMEBODY’S DOODLE won Highly Commended in the 2020 Page Turner Awards.
His debut solo novel: TOO CLOSE TO THE WIND, a philosophical thriller, was published in 2019. It’s a journey of self-discovery narrated by Nick, a young Australian windsurfer. Windsurfing is an obsession that has taken Richard (and Nick) around the world searching for wind, waves, and adventure.
