Richard Caldwell is passionate about writing stories laced with adventure and intrigue. A retired army officer with twenty years of service and plenty of experience in demanding, high-adrenaline situations, including combat tours in Vietnam, he has amassed a collection of military awards and decorations: the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star, Vietnam Campaign Medal with three battle stars, Vietnam Gallantry Cross, and Airborne and Expert Field Medical badges, as well as numerous service and overseas medals. After retiring from the military, he served as a hospital administrator for twenty-four years.
With a BS, an MBA, and a postgraduate fellowship in healthcare administration, and as a graduate of the US Army Command and General Staff College, Richard brings rigorous research to all of his writing. He has a black belt in tae kwon do and is an experienced scuba diver who enjoys camping, fishing, kayaking, and riding his Harley Davidson. He and his wife, Patricia, live in Pike Road, Alabama. Out of Crisis is his second novel. His first, The Enemy of My Enemy, was published in 2018.
