Richard French

Richard French is an author of speculative fiction, fantasy, and ethical non-fiction whose stories are as much about moral courage as they are about adventure. Inspired by the narrative depth and Socratic questioning of Orson Scott Card, Richard creates characters who are thrust into extraordinary circumstances—whether navigating dimensional magic in his short story, Inherited Magic, confronting AI consciousness in The Ghost Algorithm, or uniting against impossible odds in The Convergence series. In every tale, his characters face difficult truths and make self-sacrificial choices to protect what is right, even when it means defying the world around them. Ethics runs at the core of all his writing. His non-fiction works, such as Daniel as a Blueprint for Navigating Ethical Dilemmas and Proverbs for Profit, reflect the same principles of integrity and moral leadership that guide his fictional worlds. By weaving ethical exploration into speculative storytelling, Richard challenges readers to ask: What would I risk for the truth? What would I sacrifice for the greater good? Through novels, short stories, and essays, Richard French offers a body of work that is both intellectually engaging and emotionally resonant. His writing invites readers to journey beyond the familiar, explore the thresholds of human potential, and wrestle with the hard questions that define who we are—and who we can become.
