Born in Penzance, Cornwall, in 1967, Dave Richards grew up in the countryside surrounded by nature. He always had a passion for science and science fiction, so after having a vivid dream at the age of thirteen he knew that there was an opportunity to make something great out of it. Now married with two sons and living in Wiltshire, working as an engineer, his passion for science fiction has culminated in a series of books. The Martin Toll adventures. The first is “In the nick of time!!” and the Second is “The silence is deafening!” He is now working on book 3, The title of which is “The Swarm”. He has also just finished writing a children’s book.
