Randy's Choice / Grey Cat Press (ePub)

My name is Tor Richardson. Welcome to my Smashwords site.

If you¿ve landed on this page, you¿d probably like to know a little about me. Okay, I was born in Seattle. I¿ve traveled up and down the west coast, but still like Seattle quite a bit. I don¿t actually live in the city, but I¿m close enough to see it out the window. Along with the mountains. We have a lot of mountain in this neck of the woods. Water, too. (And, don¿t forget the rain.)

Unlike most other writers, I don¿t have a pet cat. My family had a very independent tomcat when I was a kid. I once saw him drop down from a tree onto the back of a dog who wandered into our backyard by mistake. (Boy, what a mistake!) He rode that black lab like a cowboy, using his claws as spurs and slapping the dog on the head as they went yowling up the road. Since then, I¿ve never really thought of a cat as a house pet. Cats like that need lots of room.

I¿ve always enjoyed story. I managed to sneak a creative writing class past my parents while at college (engineering majors aren¿t supposed to take those kinds of classes). Unfortunately, that experience didn¿t pan out. In hindsight, I¿m not quite sure about that class. It certainly wasn¿t writing, and it was far from creative. (I remember a vampire story I wrote for an assignment in 1981, as well as the ridicule it received. The instructor insisted that nobody would ever be interested in vampire stories. She pretty much demanded that I burn it and try again.) The experience was enough to keep me away from writing for a number of years (openly, at least).

But¿ once a storyteller, always a storyteller. In time, the writing came back with a vengeance. I was finally able to make the transition to a full-time fiction writer. Now, I enjoy coming to work every day. Telling new stories and creating new worlds is much more fun than trying to make sense of the one we¿ve got. And meeting the people who enjoy those stories is a lot of fun, too.

Thanks for stopping by. I
