Interview with B.C. Richards
Published 2017-10-01.
Who are your favorite authors?
By far my most favorite author would have to be Tolkien. I love his work. It's just so amazing how he created such a massive universe. I'm always awed when I read his books. I think Frank Herbert's Dune books are really amazing as well. Edgar Rice Burroughs is fabulous. Michael Moorcock, George R.R. Martin, and Simon R. Green would be some others. I just really enjoy great science fiction/fantasy.
What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
When I get up and the sun is shining and I don't have too many aches and pains, then it's a good day for writing. Even if I get up and it's not sunny and I do have aches and pains, it's a good day for writing. Bottom line - the love of writing!
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
Reading! Watching science fiction/fantasy movies on TV. Collecting comic books. Playing D&D when I get a chance. Checking out cool little microbreweries. Hiking in the beautiful woods of Western Pennsylvania.
What is your writing process?
I don't know that I really have one. My stories just sort of come to me in their entirety. I jot down some notes and then have at it. After I finish, I go back through and make corrections. I have Jon (Jon Flushing) take a look and give me feedback. That's about it.

by Cassidy Raine Wolters, Jon Flushing, Doug Ward, Mark Hospodar, Jr, Jerry Clark, B.C. Richards, Leonard Herrington, Scott Lee, & April Ward
Who says that the future is always bright? The prospect of better things yet to come is most certainly an attractive thought, one that propels scientific, creative, and social advancement. It is an endeavor that drives humanity forward. But the future is vague and difficult to predict. Not everything turns out the way it is expected. In fact, it is oftentimes not always for the better.
Tales From the Grimacing Goblin
by Cassidy Raine Wolters, Jon Flushing, Doug Ward, Mark Hospodar, Jr, Jerry Clark, B.C. Richards, Leonard Herrington, Scott Lee, & April Ward
The Grimacing Goblin Inn is not a place to enter lightly. Frequented mostly by lowly rogues and cutthroats, it is best to keep one hand on your weapon’s hilt and your back against a wall. The ale is cheap, which suits the Goblin’s clientele well as the patrons drink and swap yarns. Come in, sit back and eavesdrop on these stories told by the adventurers themselves, but keep an eye on your coin p
Dreams of Cerberus
by Jon Flushing, B.C. Richards, & Leonard Herrington
The dreams of Cerberus would have been nightmares. We believe nightmares only happen while we are asleep. The assumption is a faulty one. We share the world with witches and demons, killers and cannibals, and many other creatures that we don’t want to believe exist. Dreams of Cerberus is an anthology of ten short horror stories by authors Jon Flushing, B.C. Richards, and Leonard Herrington.
