Biography

 

Richard taught for nine years in primary schools in Suffolk and Cambridgeshire before being appointed Advisory Teacher for English in Leicestershire - where he began his writing career with the publications of two multicultural anthologies for schools. He moved to Huntingdon to become Senior Advisory Teacher for Reading and Language, and after many years in post he became a free lance teacher trainer, consultant and writer. In 1992 he was appointed one of the two General Editors of Cambridge Reading, a major resource for the teaching of reading in primary schools in Britain and worldwide, a position he held for five years.

 

Many of his works have been translated and adapted for the international market, and the Golden Armour series of fantasy novels have been translated into German, Czech and Portuguese.

 

Richard has moved between writing teaching materials for pupils and teachers to the writing of novels for the commercial market. He has also served on judging panels for children's writing competitions. Retired, he now concentrates on writing fiction for the 7 - 14 age group. He lives near Cambridge and enjoys concerts, plays, films, adult education classes, art history and reading! He is now experimenting with the writing of poetry and radio scripts at the adult level.
