V. R. R. Richards began as a physicist designing ballistic rockets before working on advanced computer systems in California's Silicon Valley. Later, a research program in neuropsychology led to a doctorate in human behavior, brain function, and consciousness.
After moving to northern California as a consultant, Richards focused on a lifelong ambition: developing quasi-historical science fiction stories. This tale about the ancient alien god, Enki: Lord of Earth, earned a place as finalist in the Pulsar Sci-Fi Contest and as semi-finalist in the ASA international competition for screenplays.
Richards now lives near the redwoods, with beloved spouse and Siamese cat.
