Richard Freeland

Publisher info

I'm a licensed landscape architect, a garden writer, a fair singer/songwriter, and a family man. I love to travel and hike with my wife Martha, play a little tennis when my bum knees let me, make and sip a great margarita, play on the water with boats, and go on adventures with my two boys.

I also love Jekyll Island, Georgia, our home-away-from-home, and have another website devoted just to our adventures on this wonderful island (www.jekyll-island-family-adventures.com).

Hope you enjoy my writing, and keep a weather eye out for "Seed", my upcoming novel. You can preview it at DragonLyre Publishing.

Smashwords book reviews by Richard Freeland

Graves on March 16, 2011

Great story by an outstanding author of suspense utilizing a unique twist with flair and imagination. If you thought walking past a graveyard was frightening, wait til the grave comes to you! Highly recommended. Hopefully, Crawthorne will see fit to expand this into a full-length novel, and further develop his protagonist for all our enjoyment.
