Richard Hurley was born in Upstate New York and lived there until he was 9. His family moved to Europe, where he attended Italian schools and a British school in Switzerland. After high school in California, he went to Harvard, where he fell under the dark influence of the Harvard Lampoon. He has written professionally for magazines, newspapers, and consulting clients.
After college, he worked for three years as History Preparator for the Oakland Museum of California, restoring artifacts and designing exhibits. He returned to school for an M.Arch degree from UC Berkeley, then fled the Bay Area for the Sierra Foothills and a career in computer-based multimedia. He has produced corporate training, educational, and promotional CDs and DVDs, as well as 3D animations.
He has been an avid history buff ever since the age of ten, when he descended into a newly-opened Etruscan tomb structure. He is also interested in languages and served as Winlandes Scirgerefa ("Sheriff of Vinland") for Đa Engliscan Gesiđas, an Old English study group. He is still awaiting his first invitation to recite "Cædmon's Hymn" (the oldest surviving English poem) in early West Saxon.
Favorite historical fiction authors: Robert Graves (I, Claudius) and Patrick O'Brian (Aubrey/Maturin series)
