Most of my working life was spent in the engineering field setting up quality assurance programs for industry. While working the grind I raised two fine human beings and now own a floral shop in Albany, New York. A few years ago, I decided to write that first book and wrote a book on my favorite subject---vampires. Shadow Angels was born in my imagination while paddling a kayak on a mountain lake. Work and raising children kept me from writing that first book, but eventually in life things quiet down, and I finally found the time to put into writing a book. I have always enjoyed writing and over the years wrote a few short stories. Always a fan of old horror, such as Frankenstein, The Mummy, and The Invisible Man, but my favorite was vampires. Currently I am finishing the final draft of Rise of the Queen and preparing to enter the edit phase of the book. You can visit my website at www.richardhall39.com.
