Richard Saunders (AKA Preacher Rick) has a diverse background with wide-ranging experience (musician, computer technician, biker, amateur magician, IT Professional, ordained baptist minister and pastoral counselor) and now ads 'author' to that list. A frequent writer for Thunder Roads Mid-Atlantic magazine, he has authored two books that are completely different in nature: 28 Days: Riding with the King - A four-week Christian Devotional, published by Lulu.com Publishing, that provides thought provoking, spiritual insight for motorcyclists or anyone else who has a zest for adventure. Pearls of the Elf Lords - is a Sci-Fi/Fantasy novel, published by Stonegarden.net Press, about a motley crew of adventurers who are united in an effort to help a teenage princess recover a legendary talisman that will help her claim to the throne following her grandfather's death. What they discover with it thrusts them all into the middle of an adventure filled with political conspiracies, assassination attempts, and dangerous threats as old as civilization itself. (Due out in 2010).
