Richard Cartwright was born and raised in East Tennessee. He spent his early years bouncing around the country and Canada in the sleeper of his parents’ tractor-trailer rig that his dad bought after retiring from the Navy to go into trucking. His first reading lessons were road signs at four. His parents disrupted his education at five when he was forced to start spending the school year at school. After acquiring a note at six to allow him to check out “advanced” books from the library, he discovered Heinlein and never looked back. Along the way, he acquired degrees in history, law, and cynicism.
He writes SF, alt history, fantasy, and has been accused of creating a PTSD romance.
Richard learned the fine art of storytelling sitting around kitchen tables, campfires and courtrooms over the years but came to writing later in life after getting out of the legal profession while he could still get his soul back.
These days he manages a remote support team which lets him feed his writing habit.
