Richard J. Schneider
Biography
Richard J. Schneider grew up in Crystal Lake, Illinois, north of Chicago. He began writing seriously in high school. After careers as an award-winning journalist, an energy policy spokesman for a governor, and a communications consultant, he now writes fiction from his Denver base. "The story and characters are everything," says Dick, "with a little bit of fun along the way." His mysteries mix these elements with a dash of political intrigue and background subject matter that informs his readers. His Vic Bengston Investigation series is set in Colorado.
Richard is a graduate of DePaul University with a B.A. in Political Science. He studied energy policy under a Professional Journalism Fellowship at Stanford University, and is currently completing work on an M.A. in Political Science at the University of Colorado Denver. His four adult children, three grand children and Mom all live in the Denver area.
