Richard Falken

I am a mechanical engineer who, in his spare time, listens to heavy metal, plays with IT security and writes epic literature. I am also a proud knife collector and the official friend of the horses in the small town where I live. I am a political activist and a known defender of civil rights against the ever-present threat of its enemies.

I was heavily influenced by the epic fantasy genre from a young age. I was particularly attracted to the work of authors such as Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman and Louise Cooper. I wrote my first novel at the age of 18, and La Espada Vengadora, which has been translated to English, gathered a loyal fan base. I have also published another book in Spanish, El Libro Negro, which is currently being translated to English.

Preferring the quiet life of the country to the busy rush of the city, I live in a small Spanish town with eight dogs, two horses, and an ever growing collection of knives and books.
