Welcome to the website of Richard Howard

I am an English author with a lifelong interest in the paranormal.  I’ve written many short stories set in everyday scenarios or purely fantasy worlds, all with a twist in the tail.  They range from the menacing to the magical.  There are three books of collected stories available as paperbacks from this site and on Kindle from Amazon.  There are also links on this site to Amazon where a few individual stories taken from these books are also available on Kindle.

Also on this site are details of my various recorded music programmes, available to recorded music societies.  The programmes focus mostly on 20th century symphonic orchestral music and favour tonal and harmonic composers.  Further details can be found on the Music page.  If you are interested in a presentation, I can be contacted via this website.

‘It is only the illogical resistance to the short story
~ that surely our busy world should embrace ~
that has prevented Richard Howard becoming recognised
as one of the greatest short story writers of the 21st century’
