Thankfully, tests revealed it wasn’t cancer, however Richard still had a battle on his hands.

Richard and his wife Judy currently focus on running the ‘Richard And Judy Book Club' and he also recently released another novel of his own.

During a recent chat with Huff Post UK, he revealed how he combats loneliness during the writing process.

“I understand what people mean by the loneliness,” he admitted. “I don’t experience it. I found that my characters keep me company. Writing can be semi-automatic. Characters appear out of nowhere and take on a life of their own.”
