Richard Stephenson was born in 1975 in Denison, TX and spent his childhood in North Texas. In 1992, he graduated high school after only three years. He then pursued his degree at Oklahoma Christian University, once again accomplishing the task in three years. Richard then married his best friend before going off to basic training to be a military policeman with the US Army. With his new wife joining the adventure, they spent the next four years at Fort Polk, LA and had two children.

Richard currently lives in Southeast Texas with his family where he is working something very top secret.

Why haven't I published anything in four years?

Well, stay tuned!

Quotes by Richard Stephenson  (?)

“American politics had two fatal flaws - flaws that led to its downfall.  The first was corruption.  Politicians lied with almost every breath they mustered and didn’t hesitate to slit each others throats for gain.  They were whores willing to sell their vote to the highest bidder. ”
Richard Stephenson, Collapse

“After all, the internet didn't surf itself; someone had to look at strange porn, might as well be Max.”
Richard Stephenson, Collapse

“Politicians lie with almost every breath they mustered, and didn't hesitate to slit each other's throats for gain. They were whores willing to sell their vote to the highest bidder. The second was ineffectiveness. Politicians did not represent the people who elected them. They might have held onto the delusion that they served the public, but the only thing they represented was big business”
Richard Stephenson, Collapse
