Richard Gary Books
Welcome
Welcome to my website.
I was born in Dallas, Texas in 1974. My wife Melody and I have been married since 1997. We have 3 daughters, Briana (20), Kylie (19) and Jaden (18). I currently live in Trophy Club and work as a personal trainer in Colleyville. As a family, we enjoy volleyball, disc golf, obstacle course racing, and music.
I've been writing children's stories in my spare time since 2001. I love good humor and creativity that sparks a wild imagination. My favorites growing up were Shel Silverstein and Gary Larson's The Far Side. My goal has always been to write stories that not only children love to read but parents will enjoy too, as they spend time reading to their children.
Thanks so much for visiting my website. My hope is to inspire those who read my books to be creative, have fun and smile big.
A BIT ABOUT ME...
I am energetic and very outgoing, often seen rollerblading to Austin and back. I enjoy full-contact Monopoly and Christmas Caroling on Halloween. I’ve won cliff diving competitions in Indonesia, an Olympic gold medal in duck-duck-goose, and Le Tour de France three times (though not in a row). I’ve bowled a perfect 300 with a golf ball. In 1996, while on a college trip, I skied down Mount Everest. I’ve counted to infinity twice. I once struck out Mike Trout. On the weekends I play blindfold football and design skyscrapers in my spare time. I invented salsa. I occasionally tour with Pentatonix. I helped build the hospital I was born in. I can unscramble an egg. I was the stunt double for Optimus Prime in the Transformers movies. I sold a patent to Ford Motors for an automobile ceiling fan and I created the first glow-in-the-dark light bulb. I can speak Spanish in three different languages. I can watch an entire episode of 60 Minutes in 57 seconds. I’ve played the lead in Grease on Broadway, sang the national anthem for the Super Bowl, and carried the Olympic Torch across the English Channel. I can gargle peanut butter, and blow bubbles with beef jerky. On my off days, I also enjoy teaching quantum field theory to underprivileged children.
