About Me

Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I'm Richard Sexton, a retired banker turned novelist, and storyteller. My journey has taken me from the bustling world of finance to the tranquil English countryside, where I now find joy in the simple pleasures of life, like battling slugs in my garden with my lovely wife and weaving tales that transport readers to far-off places.

My career in banking spanned decades, filled with fascinating experiences and characters that have inspired many of the stories I write today. These adventures, coupled with my love for the written word, have culminated in a series of novels that blend intrigue, adventure, and a touch of British wit.

When I'm not penning my next novel or blogging about my latest garden escapades, you can find me enjoying a good cup of tea, exploring new places, or simply savoring the quiet moments in life. My writing is a reflection of the rich tapestry of experiences I've had, and I hope that through my stories, you'll find both entertainment and a sense of connection.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. Whether you're here for a gripping tale, a chuckle at my garden antics, or a peek into the life of an ex-banker turned writer, I'm delighted to have you along for the ride.

Warm regards,

Richard Sexton

I retired from a bank to begin a building materials company. My soul feeds on baking bread, walking my dog and petrol engines. Weird, no? I've survived many close shaves in my travels which have seeded my books. Will they feed your soul too?
