Richard is a science fiction author with more than twenty years of professional writing experience in radio and television advertising. Throughout his career, he specialized in narrative-driven campaigns—using story, character, and pacing to deliver messages that connected with audiences and produced results. Several of his most successful campaigns carried a subtle science-fiction influence, blending imagination with grounded storytelling.

Raised in rural western Washington, Richard developed an early fascination with the night sky and the possibility of life beyond Earth. That curiosity, combined with a lifelong love of science fiction literature, shaped the creative foundation for his work.

After retiring from a long career in marketing, Richard returned to a science fiction story he had begun years earlier. Three years and more than 100,000 words later, Time Stamping was completed—a fast-paced, character-driven adventure that reflects his broadcast background, prioritizing momentum, personality, and cinematic storytelling over traditional literary formality.

Richard lives in Spokane Valley, Washington, with his wife. He has two grown children, three grandchildren, and continues to draw inspiration from the universe, both real and imagined.
