Rich Partain writes absolutely ridiculous comedy sci-fi adventure stories. He doesn't have any major awards or accolades just yet as he is very new at writing fiction. He graduated with a B.A. in English from the University of Montevallo too many years ago to discuss here, and he has been a writer in one form or another for most of his life: from school newspapers and yearbooks to jobs as a reporter and editor of daily and monthly newspapers, to writing for the web and authoring Federal grants. He practically grew up in libraries and bookstores. Rich has held a host of jobs that inform his written work, including positions in security, law enforcement, Information Technology, web and graphic design, and tons of other jobs that resulted in burns, bruises, cuts, scrapes, broken bones, and meeting a plethora of colorful characters over the course of his lifetime. Currently, Rich is a full-time multimedia developer as well as a part-time novelist and musician. His first novel, Happy Jack and the Scary-Ass Book of Doom, is intended to be an antidote to dark, angry fiction where horrible people do horrible things to each other. There are moments of darkness, however, because what would an adventure story be without obstacles and antagonists? At their heart, though, Rich's stories are tales of staunch, good-hearted friends striving against impossible odds to save the universe and innocents from death and destruction. Badass mercenary friends with foul mouths, yes, but wholesome for all that. Once you get past the profanity, innuendo and occasional bloodshed and violence. Rich lives in Madison, AL, with his beloved, long-suffering, ultra-supportive wife, two unruly but good-hearted boys, and a sweet but needy dog. He is hard at work on the sequel(s) to Happy Jack ... when life allows.
