About Me:
I worked as an Executive Editor at Entertainment Weekly for 11 years and (in two separate stints) at People magazine and people.com for 12 years. I often speak to young journalists and try to use myself as an example for inspiration—a guy who spent time in jail, rehab and a psych ward and somehow went on to become a successful editor at Time Inc. and managed to keep himself sane and alive. I’ve tried to reflect those experiences in my books.

    Hi Richard,
    I write in 3 genres so I concentrate on one particular genre at a time, marketing myself and that book. My BLOG was rated #51 in Australia. Check out my BLOG post ... Build your Writers Platform @

    Glad to be on board, Richard. I'll be reading you with interest. That's a warehoue and two sheds' worth of life experience you have there. Can't beat the variation in informing our fiction, even if the experience is a cold one. Any thanks.
