Richard currently lives in Burford, Oxfordshire, with his husband, Scott.
Despite a long-held ambition to be a writer, crafting many a story in his late teens/early twenties, life seemed to take a different direction for the next thirty years or so.
COVID lockdown, and some mid-life crisis self-questioning, presented the opportunity to try again, and through his debut novel "Echoes of a Boy", Richard has crafted an exceptional concept piece. A fictional whodunit interlaced with a biographical commentary.
Richard's second offering, "If I Had Died Last Summer", is a collection of short stories again drawn from his youth, although we are also treated to a number of new creations.
And now we have his first complete novel, "Enigma: A Twisted Tale of Love and Magic". A different genre again, telling the tale of a schoolboy romance between Patrick and Craig, which blossoms over the years along with Patrick's increasing magic skills. There is a tragedy to be overcome along the way when their relationship is discovered by Patrick's religious parents, but nothing compared to the developments following Patrick's stunning audition on Future Stars, a TV talent show he has been desperate to showcase himself on.
Richard continues to write engaging, memorable stories, and although his new offering takes us once more in a different direction, it is undoubtedly in his unique style. Clever, twisted, and attempting to place his LGBTQ+ characters at the heart of mainstream fiction. Enjoy!
