Richard Newton is the best selling author of a range of non-fiction books who has recently made the scary jump into fiction writing.
His published works are mostly niche non-fiction books. His first book for everyone, Dream It, Do It, Live It was published 2013. More recently, he published the novella A Touch of Absolution. He's been writing fiction for decades, but this is the first time it has been available to the public.
His books have been translated into 17 languages and won awards, including the Management Book of the Year 2013.
He reads all the time, and for the last few years he has written a review of every book he has read. The reviews reflect his eclectic tastes in reading - good literature, a lot of philosophy, for professional reasons business books, history, travel and mountaineering books - and books about central Asia which is a bit of a personal obsession. But depending on his mood, whim, or the direction of the wind he reads a wide variety that does not fall into any of these categories.
Richard is interested in philosophy, mountaineering, trail running, working and travelling in interesting places, as well as a wide range of music. He works internationally, with home being split between the Cotswolds, UK and the Tatra's, Poland. If you have questions or comments or just feel like chatting get in touch with Richard
