Richard Ford



Richard Ford lives and writes in the remote wilds of the English Peak District with his wife Claire and their dog Gyp. His first novel, Quest for the Faradawn was published in 1982, became an international best seller and rapidly acquired the status of a cult classic. The other two books in the Faradawn trilogy, Melvaig’s Vision and Children of Ashgaroth were also best sellers. After leaving his day job as a lawyer in 1999 he immersed himself in writing and in playing, writing and performing music and has released three critically acclaimed albums of his own songs, Smoke and Mirrors, Still & Voices. Currently Richard (or Rick when he is a musician!) is working on his fourth album Across the Border, to be released in 2017 and a new novel.
