AUTHOR
IMAGINATION
RICHARD ARTHUR LOVE
Just glad to be alive, a near-fatal 1991 auto accident forced RAL to put his lifetime of Visual Arts/Fashion/Architecture work on hiatus and follow a family tradition of serious writing. It was time to turn his lifetime of casual scribbling into professional authorship, and that he did.
It was a rough start to a happy and successful transformation, and today RAL prefers to consider himself first & foremost as an author.
His professional writing credits include solid success as; a Journalist, Senior Editor, Copywriter, Screenwriter, Short Story author, and award-winning Poet.
His succinct, compelling, and lucid prose carries an authentic voice of calm authority & wit that lifts both his fiction & non-fiction to exceptional levels.
In the last two decades, RAL has written over a million words for professional business documents, Branding initiatives, and worked with Mike Salisbury & Roman Coppola on developing a TV show.
Currently committed to publishing a Novel, and despite his talent & skills, Richard publically admits to being awkwardly dependent on Spellcheck.
