Richard Cliff, a writer from the north of England, has spent many years working and travelling around the world. His novels draw the reader into an unfolding drama inspired by a myriad of captivating characters and real world places. Lots of people travel, being a tourist is easy. But if you don’t have a return ticket and you need to earn your next meal in a place where life is cheap then at least you have the makings of someone who might harbour a decent tale or two. Life can give you that. Richard doesn’t write travelogues, he writes stories using life’s ink.
