Who is Richard Marcus?
Well aside from the person who has written all that's for sale on this page, I'm also the editor of an on line Arts & Culture magazine known as Epic India Magazine, a contributing editor at Blogcritics.org and the twisted mind behind the web site Leap In The Dark.
In the past three years of posting to the Internet I've published around 1200 articles on line and written a special feature for Rolling Stone Germany on Willy DeVille.
I've also published two short works of non-fiction through Lulu: one being a collection of Interviews and reviews that I've published over the last couple of years, and the other, NaNoWriMo Notes, the diary of my attempt to write 50,000 words in a month - for the National Novel Writing Month Competition.
You will also find here the first fourteen chapters of a book tenatively titled "The Trees Were Singing", available on a per chaper basis. I had meant to serialize the bugger until it was finished, but I stopped working on it about a year ago. Have not fear though as I've just decided the time is ripe to make another stab at it and have so far worked through the first three chapters again without feeling embaressed - meaning I'll probably try and finish the bugger soon.
You'll also find a couple of books of poetry kicking around here that I wrote - some it's pretty good, while some is probably pretty juvenile - but since the first book is called "Steps To Maturity" you can't really ask for much more.
Coming Soon
I hope, will be my take on the Hardboiled detective story "The Case Of The Missing Kyoto Accord"
Thanks for dropping by and I hope you enjoyed your visit to my store.
