Richard John Mitchell was born in Sussex quite a few editions ago, and his curiosity for the world led him to pursue a degree in electronic engineering—a skillset that would shape his successful career as a global leader in information technology analysis. Throughout his professional life, Richard authored extensive works and reviewed the writings of analyst experts, while traversing the globe on various ventures. Recently, Richard embarked on a new chapter as he bid farewell to the corporate world and embraced his true passion of writing. Drawing on his affection for storytelling, he chose the realm of fiction to weave captivating narratives that engage readers' imaginations.Beyond his literary endeavours, Richard finds solace and creativity in the world of art. He has painted pictures for over three decades, primarily working in oils but also dabbling in watercolours and acrylics. Having a profound admiration for the great artists of the past, he has made a detailed study of the Italian Renaissance, with a particular focus on Botticelli. Among his greatest joys in life are his loving family—four children and two stepchildren who have ventured into the world, and an increasing number of grandchildren. Richard lives in North Yorkshire, near the historically rich city of York, with his lovely wife and two dogs.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
