ABOUT THE AUTHOR
For certain reasons which you will understand after reading this book, W. Richard Viall does not wish to go into too much detail about his personal life. He attended Burlington county college, New Jersey and Victor Valley college, California. He resides on Saint Simons Island, Georgia. Saint Simons Island is home of such authors as Jim Daher (Righteous Kill) and formerly Eugenia Price who wrote about the history of Saint Simons Island.
Richard was baptized in a small country Baptist church in upstate Pennsylvania at the age of thirteen. He had the epiphany that God is real while hunting in the orchard of his property sometime later. Throughout his life Richard attended several different denominations regularly. He is now Catholic. He received confirmation into the Catholic Church on the same date as his baptism at age thirteen.
After serving in the Army, he began his career as a correctional officer at Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. He worked his way through the ranks and retired as a training instructor for the Federal Bureau of Prisons at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Georgia.
His interest in religion began at a young age when his uncle took him to see a fire and brimstone preacher. Something everyone should experience once in their lifetime. Richard’s hobbies on Saint Simons Island are cooking, working out, biking, and beachgoing. Huckleberry picking and mushroom foraging in the summer and hunting in the fall are activities on his property in Pennsylvania.
