David Scott Richardson

After teaching sixth grade for twenty years, David Scott Richardson found the time and motivation to write this story, which he’d been thinking about for years. He previously held positions in mental health and legal services and worked with developmentally disabled people.

His fishing experience and interest in declining salmon populations flesh out the characters’ connections with the river. In whole, he drifts along with the river current much like Alex does. His second MG/YA historical novel is currently underway.
