About me.

I’m Richard Dee and I’m from Brixham in Devon.

I write all kinds of speculative fiction, from Science Fiction and Steampunk to sci-fi crime and psychological thrillers.

Forty years at sea gave me the ideas, I just changed the names and set them in the future, or an alternative now.

All my work is fuelled by black coffee and homemade digestive biscuits.

I’d love to hear from you,
