Richard Porter Ray

Biography

Born in Clearwater Florida in 1935 in the midst of the great depression. Moved to Houston when I was six and lived there until graduation from U of H in 1967. Married my wife Lori in 1963 and had many happy years. She passed away in 1998 and I sold my business and moved to Florida. Along the way I was writing tech books and other writings. I started writing novels and have finished four so far.

It is one of my very enjoyable hobbies and I hope my readers enjoy them too.

Smashwords Interview

How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
This is the first time I have attempted to publish. Believe me it's more difficult than I imagined. Just reading and re-reading caused me to change things often. Add to that the marketing and it's quite a job. Luckily I'm retired and have the time to devote.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
Weaving in and out and carving characters and environments are very satisfying. It's like starting a whole new career with each book.
