Richard Fierce is an award-winning fantasy author of over 30 books.

In 2000, Richard won Poet of the Year for his poem The Darkness. He's also the creator/founder of the Acworth Book Festival, a literary event in Acworth, Georgia.

A recovering retail worker, he now works in the tech industry when he's not busy writing.
