Richard Randon is an Anglo-Dutch author with a worrying fondness for improbable ideas and cups of tea. Writing under a pen name (mostly to protect the innocent, including himself), he specialises in stories where the laws of physics are gently nudged, bureaucracy is treated as a villain, and absurdity is given the dignity it always demanded.
He lives in the Netherlands with his wife and their cat, Alfie—who insists on editorial control, usually by sitting on the keyboard. When not writing, Randon moonlights as a medical engineer, bravely attempting to persuade complicated machines to behave.
Randon is the author of the Strange Beer trilogy—three novels of intergalactic misadventure, cosmic hangovers, and jokes that probably shouldn’t work but somehow do. He also co-authored a bestselling psychological thriller, proving he can switch from absurd space comedy to earthbound human darkness without spilling too much ink. His latest work, The Trump Syndrome, is a satirical comedy novel diagnosing the world’s most baffling political condition with charts, sidebars, and more Sharpies than strictly necessary.
