About Rich

Richard Sezov is part writer, part technologist, and all geek. As a child, he enjoyed the works of the great sci-fi writers of old. As a teen, he came to love tabletop role-playing games, computers, and heavy metal. As an adult, he still nerds out on all those things, plus Christian theology and philosophy. As a husband and father to his kids, he wants to write stories that fascinate, amaze, and inspire.

That’s a brief summary. You’ll learn far more about me by wandering around this website.
