Richard P. West is a retired engineer who lives in Canada. Richard's career has taken him to all continents (except Antarctica) and has included a wide range of experiences.
He has always loved to read about new things, discover people's life stories and enjoy fiction. Exposed to Welsh poetry and verse by his wife, he has a soft spot for Dylan Thomas. But whether it is Dickens, Lawrence or Czerneda, it's the story they tell that fascinates.
Later in life, Richard realised that although he loved to read what people have written, he had little idea how they did it. Never one to just shrug off a question, he set out to learn how to write. The journey of learning something of this craft has been and is most rewarding. Richard has written a number short stories and has self-published four books.

A man hell-bent on challenging his own sobriety
Recovering alcoholic Richard West has never exorcised the ghosts of his worst tragedy. It destroyed his life and left him broken. With guilt eating him alive, he buys a motorcycle and escapes on an impulsive journey into the Australian outback.
As the former corporate cop attempts to circumnavigate one of the harshest continents in the world in just a few months, he sees haunting visions that both torture and guide him. But when he meets a woman in a yellow drop-top Bug, she threatens his sobriety. With each temptation, the bottle of Johnnie Walker in his saddlebag whispers his name.
Eventually he has to make a choice. One that will change everything.
IF is an extraordinary memoir about riding to redemption. If you like flawed heroes, road novels, or have ever battled to overcome your own demons, then Richard West's memoir will touch your heart.
