Richard Smith

I'm Still Standing is my second novel, Homeward Bound is my first. Some might say, at my time of life, I should be retired with my feet up, not writing a first novel. But then, writing has been my life. For decades, I made my living by writing and storytelling for TV commercials and sponsored and corporate films and videos. You might well have seen some of them. On the way, I won numerous accolades, including a British Television Advertising Award, and over fifty best scriptwriter and best programme awards at non-broadcast Oscars. Filming locations ranged across Nigeria, Norway and Norwich! Many recent projects focused on social issues, including disability, equality and care for the young and elderly. While I hope these have made a positive difference, rather worryingly, two of my early commercials were featured in a British Library summer exhibition entitled Propaganda.

If you want to know more about me, why not tap in richardsmithwrites.com. There you'll find some random blogs as well as more information about the reviews I've received for my novels. They're all positive - well, I'd hardly point you at bad ones, would I? But actually, I've had virtually all 4 and 5 star ratings. And no, they're not my extended family! Better still, just buy the books!!
