Make yourself at home, feel free to take a look around.

I’m Richard Dee, and I write all sorts of fiction, from Sci-fi and Steampunk to Cozy Crime, Fantasy and Psychological Thrillers. I’ve been writing forever and publishing since 2013.

I was never a writer, this is my story.
This (slightly edited) post first appeared on the much-missed Sue Vincent’s website. I was trying to express how I ended up writing novels, a way of occupying my time that nobody (including me) would have ever believed that I could do.

Every story has a beginning.
Ten-year-old Andorra Pett and her best friend, Maisie, are on holiday in Devon.
Amid trips to the beach and the moors, they stumble on an old caravan in the woods.
Who is the owner, and why is he acting so strangely? What could he be hiding?
All they have to do is persuade her parents that there’s something very bad going on.
Years before she arrives at the Oort Cloud Café, Andorra gives us an early glimpse of her talent for solving puzzles.
