Richelle E. Goodrich is my name. I have been writing and publishing poetry, short stories, and novels since my debut in April 2012. In my late twenties, I graduated from Eastern Washington University with bachelor’s degrees in liberal studies and natural science/mathematics education, but I have always had a strong love for the arts. Along with writing original stories and poetry, I sketch, paint, play some piano and guitar, keep a running blog site, and have acted in theatrical plays. My quotes have been published in numerous places including the Oxford Philosophy Being Human course book, in eight separate Chicken Soup for the Soul books, in a Revlon magazine ad campaign, and on a television episode of Alone (season 7 episode 3.)
My written works include Smile Anyway, Making Wishes, Slaying Dragons, Being Bold, Hope Evermore, A Heart Made of Tissue Paper, The Tarishe Curse, Secrets of a Noble Key Keeper, Dandelions: The Disappearance of Annabelle Fancher, and a six-book series referred to as the Harrowbethian Saga.
I have described a bit about myself in the following quote:

I have described a bit about myself in the following quote:
“I like bubbles in everything. I respect the power of silence. In cold or warm weather, I favor a mug of hot cocoa. I admire cats—their autonomy, grace, and mystery. I awe at the fiery colors in a sunset. I believe in deity. I hear most often with my eyes, and I will trust a facial expression before any accompanying comment. I invent rules, words, adventures, and imaginary friends. I pretend something wonderful every day. I will never quit pretending.”
