Monsters and scoundrels inhabit our dreams by day and by night. Who wrote them and what made them so dreadful? The worst-of-the-worst from Dracula to Jack the Ripper and Lady Macbeth. It isn't the heroes, the Dudley Do-Rights, who make reading and writing exciting; it's Snidely Whiplash, Boris and Natasha who provide the spice, who make us breathless. Let's write Really Great Bad Guys, deeply flawed characters ... and perhaps monsters with a heart of gold.

Richard “Rick” Sapp grew up on a Florida island. Following military service, he completed a PhD in Cultural Anthropology (U.S. Air Force Academy, Catholic University and University of Florida).

Rick and his wife make their home in Blairsville, Georgia.
