Growing up in central WI, I learned to love reading from my Mother. She would buy me the comic books of the day and encourage me to read, as she did each afternoon. Eventually I learned, and never looked back.
I first tried writing around the age of 9 and have toyed with the notion throughout my adult life. I've always been my worst critic and, until 2014, I never tried to share or publish my work. My 654 page novel "THE PRIDE", was published on Amazon Kindle and in trade paperback through CreateSpace that year.
The following year, the 2nd book of the series, Blood Pride, was released. Picking up where the 1st left off. Blood Pride continues the trials and tribulations of Nick and Susan and their unusual family.
In 2016 Pride Fight, the 3r ...more

Richard Tabaka liked Melissa Wilander's review of Devils of the Wood: "Very good quick read! Since I'm Swedish I completely enjoyed this. Simple but with a lot of twists and turns. Shifters are my favorite and when I come across a good one I'm a happy person!"

Richard Tabaka answered Goodreads's question: If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there? Better late than never. I seldom come back here as I never had much to see over the years. To answer that question; I would go to Dean R. Koontz's Moonlight Bay if only to see how the Christopher Snow trilogy ended. I loved Fear Nothing and Seize the See Full Answer
