Ric Wasley thrived on music in the sixties and performed as a folksinger and in rock several bands all over New England. He met the likes of Bob Dylan and Joan Baez.
In a recent interview Ric said, I started keeping a kind of a journal of my own 'adventures on the road' traveling around on my motorcycle, playing as a single folk act, and later in a VW Mini-bus touring with my rock band. Equally fortunate, I kept these journals which many years later became much of the source material and inspiration for the adventures of Mick and Bridget, my two main characters of the McCarthy Family detectives featured in Shadow of Innocence.
The sixties was just so cool, Ric added. The largest segment of Americas population, myself included, grew up in the sixties. It remains the most influential decade of social and cultural change in the past 200 years.
Ric has been writing for over 30 years. He has been published in several literary magazines in L.A. and San Francisco while living in California. He currently lives outside of Boston with his wife and three children, works for a major media company and retains his love of music and writing.
His other works include: Acid Test (a novel) October 2004 Various Literary Magazines "
