Richard Bard was born in Munich, Germany to American parents, and joined the United States Air Force like his father. But when he was diagnosed with cancer and learned he had only months to live, he left the service. He earned a management degree from the University of Notre Dame and ultimately ran three successful companies involving advanced security products used by US embassies and governments worldwide. Now a full-time writer, he lives in Redondo Beach, California, with his wife, and remains in excellent health.
Richard draws on his own experiences as a former USAF pilot and cancer survivor to craft compelling characters who risk it all for love and loyalty. With breakneck international chases and mind-blowing plot twists, his "Brainrush" series earns its moniker as the "entertaining action-thriller with thought-provoking soul."
His fourth and fifth Brainrush thrillers, "Everlast" and "Ephemeral," were released in December of 2014 and January of 2015.
