Richard Ramsey

Richard lives, with his wife, in the Pacific Northwest where he has worked over the years as a Waiter, Electronics Engineer, Technical Support Analyst, and Software Quality Assurance Analyst. He shares his enjoyment for gardening with his wife, the local wild deer, turkeys and a nuerotic gray squirrel that sends their cats flying to the screen door.

Richard has rediscovered his personal need for writing after he was laid off a while back. He prefers to write in his fantasy world of where the muscle of a person's magic is what may keep them alive, but the healing of their heart is what will let them live.

He is presently finishing his first fantasy based novel, "Tears of the Shaman", with two more outlined and ready to get started, along with writing a dozen short stories and essays. He is taking writing classes at the local community college as well as seminars and workshops from local prize winning authors like Elizabeth Engstrom (www.ElizabethEngstrom.com). He is also a regular story contributor to the award winning WORDOS Writer's Workshop (www.WORDOS.com), a clarion based critique group consisting of mainly Science Fiction and Fantasy writers.

Don't hesitate to contact him since he always enjoys talking with people, so please email him at: Rick@RichardRamsey.us
