Is a storyteller who weaves together magic, mystery, and the darker shades of imagination. His worlds—such as those in Eternal Nights and the Wolves & Ravens trilogy—challenge what we believe, force hard decisions, and explore how much of truth can survive in shadows.

Richard serves as an officer in the Pennsylvania National Guard and has a long history with the 82nd Airborne Division. Choosing to build a family, he left active combat service and now balances life with a wife, four daughters, and his writing.

His entry into writing started from a simple frustration: he saw adult readers being underserved in paranormal and fantasy genres—vampires, magic, supernatural beings—but more often in formats that relied on youth-driven tropes. So he set out to write the books he wanted to read—ones with dark corners, moral risk, real emotions, and stories that don’t sugarcoat the consequences.

When he’s not penning a new chapter or plotting the next twist, Richard draws strength from the ordinary moments: family dinners, quiet nights, research into myth and folklore. Each fragment of life becomes an echo in his stories. He believes that every hidden truth, every choice, every transformation matters—and that fiction has the power to ask what we dare not say aloud.
