Produktbeschreibung

It is a pure pleasure for me to be writing again. Fourteen years of being involved in teaching and school administration have claimed most of my hours and focus. My desire to write turned into thoughts of "someday..." or "next year I'm gonna...". With departure from the business of the classroom, I once again have the freedom to commit myself to putting pen to paper (or I should say, "fingers to keyboard"). William Faulkner wrote, "It is the writer's privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart." That is my desire, and I appreciate your allowing me to be a small part of the "heart-lifting" process in your life. Since my last project, I have had several requests to write a sequel, a second prayer devotional. A discussion with my late father ended with a commitment to do so. It is with pleasure that I honor that commitment. Much of what I write is never seen by anyone but the Lord and me, but written words can live on as long as there are readers to see them. Michael Straczynski called it "immortality by proxy."

Autorenporträt

Richard was born and grew up at Horton Farm and enjoyed the rugged life of a farmer's son growing up in Shropshire. When he left school, he at first worked on the farm alongside his father before going to the RMAS Sandhurst as a TA Officer Cadet. He then joined the Regular Army and served with the 10th Bt Gurkha Rifles in Hong Kong and Borneo and then the Light Infantry in Northern Ireland and Germany. When he left the Regulars in the mid-1990s, he again worked on the farm for a few years before joining the Police in which he now still serves. Richard remained a Reservist and has seen operational service in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2002-03. Very happily married to Louise to whom Chasing Crows is dedicated and in memory of his parents. Richard now runs the farm with his wife and three children where they run a small Aberdeen Angus herd and breed Shire Horses.
