Profile: Richard Platts

About This Author

Richard is a prize-winning author of short stories. His tales are unconventional and are written in a unique style which blends elements of sci-fi, supernatural, gothic and fantasy alongside gritty reality. He describes his inspiration as coming from 'anything that moves'. His work has been published as a contribution to anthologies and now, for the first time, in a dedicated collection 'Life's Tapestry'. After a career in IT and Business Consulting he took early retirement in 2013 to be free to devote more time to writing. He lives in Bratton in Wiltshire with his wife June and their son Paul as well as a lively company of cats, dogs and chickens. He is regularly visited by hedgehogs.
