R W Goldsmith’s writing journey began under the blazing California sun, where he thrilled audiences as part of a wild-west stunt team in the mid-90s. Tasked with scripting their high-octane performances, he discovered a knack for storytelling that earned him a string of awards over 15 years. Craving new frontiers, he dove into science fiction, fantasy, and horror, crafting worlds that pulse with danger and wonder. Now settled at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, he shares his life with his wife, Crystie, and their dog, Jack, who’s always ready for the next plot twist.
