Richard’s latest novel, Indigo Mosaic, is exclusively available from the author in digital-only form. In an echo of 19th century publishing, it is issued in ten weekly parts, so there is an element of delayed gratification in waiting to see how the mosaic develops. The book is part love story, part historical novel. A young woman, Harriet Eldridge, buys a second-hand book with a strange title, and must discover how it links to a First World War pilot, a medieval merchant, and herself. Designed to intrigue, the novel leads the reader through a series of linked sections that allows them, like Harriet, to discover all the connections.

Richard’s previous novel, Melody’s Unicorn, is the first in a fantasy trilogy and is more conventionally available through bookshops or Amazon. Signed copies are available direct from the author. It concerns a girl who encounters a unicorn in Oxford Street (as you do) and follows it into Faërie and beyond, before returning to this world for a climactic confrontation. Apart from novels, Richard writes short stories, poetry and non-fiction. His haikus can be found on Instagram @haihaikus.
