Horror Across the Alley (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781546521556)

Born in Rhode Island, raised in Indiana, and having lived in Alabama, New York, and Europe, "Rich" has been involved in writing his entire life. From writing copy in radio, jokes in stand-up comedy, sales training manuals in business, to daily motivational correspondences in district management, he has taken his skills to create communications for all levels. Drawing upon personal experiences, he works to demonstrate his art through the development of relationship building between characters. His stories are about people and the ones to which they come in contact, with other factors built in to spice up the tales. Wanting the reader to feel emotion for the characters, whether one loves or hates them, is the primary goal. Writing in what he calls, "Common Folk Language," he strives to present a story in a style that will keep you enjoying the story, instead of reaching for the dictionary. He can be quoted, "Some of the best storytellers in the world do it around campfires where dictionaries aren't available. Isn't fiction writing just storytelling?"
