About Richard
Born and raised in Kent, England, in a Christian family, his so-called 'rebellion' was to read about Greek gods, witches and mythical adventures. Having worked as a barman, sheep farmer, children's minister and primary school teacher, he thought it was about time he got back to his roots, and back into fantastical worlds, this time of his own creation.
