Richard Paul HaescheABOUT THE AUTHOR Richard Haesche THE TALETELLER Whose stories have... a beginning to grab you, a middle to hold you and an ending to haunt you! Richard lives in a small town in Connecticut. He spent most of his life working as an accountant and fieldauditor specializing in finance and taxes. It wasn't until after he retired from the work force that he found the time to prioritize his creative aspirations by becoming a compulsive writer. After graduating from The Institute For Children's Literature in Westport, Connecticut, he began writing Young Adult and Middle-Grade Juvenile novels. His writing environment consists of a small room, a big desk, a computer, a couple of printers and his inventory of paperback novels. Anxious to begin writing, he wrote his very first young adult novel in thirty days. After revising, editing and formatting phases were complete, his first manuscript was sent to publishing houses all around the United States, only to return each time accompanied by the standard rejection slip. Undiscouraged, he wrote five more novels, both young adult and mid-grade juvenile plus a large collection of children's short stories and poems, all of which he will soon begin to market on his website: www.kreativexpressionsonline.com They will appear not only in paperback form, but also able to be downloaded as E-Books for people to read on their handheld PDAs. Additionally, he will be marketing his works on CDs and, if things go well, perhaps as audio books. Read More Read Less
