An unconventional life enthusiast, Richard Staschy has long been interested in the esoteric arts, crime history, mythology and the supernatural. He has written a number of works in the fantasy, horror, sci-fi and thriller genres. And often times he would mix those genres in a blender for fun. So his works are seen as warped and wild. He enjoys Magic the Gathering, role-playing games (such as D&D and RIFTS) and activities in the wilderness. Staschy lurks about Northern Illinois with his family (Colleen, Lotus and Balthazar) and his Pets (Santa Claws, Humphrey and Rose).
