About this author

A resident of the Tampa Bay area, Richard spends much of his leisure time fencing, playing poker, shooting pool and is a frequent guest at Florida science-fiction conventions. His current projects include new novels set in the Forgotten Realms universe and the eBook post-apocalyptic superhero series The Impostor.


Interesting news from Amazon. Those who write fan fiction may find it exciting. Not sure it's the best of news for pro writers who do tie-in novels.
