Richard C. Trice was born in Abilene, Texas, 60-something years ago, 38 of which he spent in the banking/ investment worlds before retiring to pursue a lifelong love of writing, music, acting, and world-wide travel. His many other loves and interests include family, guitars, motorcycles, photography, history, the outdoors, good books, good movies, other people’s pets, other people’s points of view, other people’s good wine, an occasional cheap cigar, the indiscriminate splashing about of commas, and run-on sentences. Trice and his wonderful wife of 40 years live in a rambling 135-year-old Victorian house in Northern New Mexico where he writes songs, terrible poetry, and, of course, novels.
