R. Marshall Wright

Richard Marshall Wright writes under the pen name of R. Marshall Wright. He uses his middle name which was his mother's mothers maiden name. Since there was already several authors named Richard Wright he chose to go with R. Marshall Wright. The author graduated from the University of Maine in 1969 and Drew Theological School in 1972. He's a retired U.S. Army Chaplain who served 23 years Active and Reserve and also a retired pastor. Like many others, He always had a passion for writing, kept saying "I was going to write," but never did...until now. "It would nice to write the next great American novel, but I will probably never do that. If one person says "Hey, that's a pretty good book" then I'm happy".

He's been married to my fabulous wife, Lynn, for almost fifty years. "We feel we have been truly blessed in that we are able to spend our summers on a lake in Michigan and our winters in Florida. We have two children and five grandchildren. Marnie is married to Arick and is the eldest and has been a stay at home mom rearing three active boys...Luke, Levi, and Loden. She holds a Masters degree from Northwestern in communications and is about to also venture into writing. Trevor is married to Lori and is a successful pastor in Findlay, Ohio. His two are Emma, who is the oldest grandchild, only girl, and her brother Cole. We are extremely proud of everyone in my family."
