About The Author

Richard Burr is the author of the up-coming debut novel "First Book of The Thirteenth". Born and raised in Kent, England in a Salvation Army household, Richard used reading as a way to escape and relax from a young age.

​

A passion for children's and young adult literature were of great benefit when studying BA in Primary Education at CCCU, and his subsequent eight year teaching career. At the time of the pandemic in 2020, Richard had been using his spare time to create fan fiction which, when it proved popular, inspired him to begin creating his own worlds to escape to.

​

In December 2021, Richard decided to put teaching to one side and take shift work in order to spend more time and energy on his writing. His debut novel "First Book of he Thirteenth" is available for pre-order and scheduled to be published 22nd July 2022.
