A figment of his imagination.

Richard Vadim’s early years in basic research schooled him in the mysteries of science. When he turned to fiction, he was ready to explore the mysteries of the human mind: thought, perception, memory, emotion, will and imagination.

His interests range from science fiction to literary fiction. A prevailing theme runs through the work: Expect the unexpected. A natural funny bone brings a little humor along for the ride.

Alongside short stories, novellas and novels, Richard has found success with screenplays and stage plays. His earlier technical papers remain part of the archive, for readers with a particular fondness for the fine print.
