I found this bio I wrote several years ago and forgot to show anyone. (I am really not so self-centered as the bio suggests!)

Richard Melo is a Mod with a capital M that makes the word like God though Richard Melo himself is not a God but rather a Mad Cat who dresses like a shark. He’s in with the Peter Max set with a super-striped flare tie for every day of the week though today it’s a fuscia ascot and powder-blue shirt. His pants are pure white and hug at the ankle and stay up with the help of a belt around the waist held together by a brass buckle formed in the Shazam insignia. He wears leather boots with zippers along the side and drives too fast along Highway 1 in his Alfa Romeo. He throws his fist into the sky out the car’s open top. God, take that!

He also writes & his latest foray into Fictionland is the self-titled Jokerman 8, now available at fine booksellers everywhere from Soft Skull Press.
