About Richard

Hi, I’m Richard

I was born and raised in Montreal, Canada. I was fascinated by storytelling from a young age. After completing a bachelor’s degree in Law, I aspired to become an actor and screenwriter.

However, most of the feedback from my scripts suggested that my writing style was that of a novel. After a decade of trying to prove the movie industry wrong, I finally took their advice and began writing my first novel Requiem of an Archdevil.   

I kept one of the most critical lessons from screenwriting: grip the readers from the first words.

I currently live in Ottawa and work for the Government of Canada.

“Where Are You?” was a play intended for my church for Christmas Eve. The story focuses on broken relationships within three generations: father, son, and grandson. The primary relationship is between Rev. Paul Baxter and his adopted son, David, who is involved in crime. A major confrontation between father and son provokes a feud that leads to a seven-year-silence. Seven years later, he receives a phone call from the police advising his son has been severely shot, and he’s resting in a hospital between life and death, waiting for his second surgery.  

The play focuses on their first conversation after seven years. So many things need to be said. But there’s little time. If David survives this, he will probably go to jail.
